5x-6=1
Square both sides of the equation.
5x-6-\left(-6\right)=1-\left(-6\right)
Add 6 to both sides of the equation.
5x=1-\left(-6\right)
Subtracting -6 from itself leaves 0.
5x=7
Subtract -6 from 1.
\frac{5x}{5}=\frac{7}{5}
Divide both sides by 5.
x=\frac{7}{5}
Dividing by 5 undoes the multiplication by 5.
