Solve -10(x+1)=-69

$$- 10 ( x + 1 ) = - 69$$

Solve for x

$$x = \frac{59}{10} = 5\frac{9}{10} = 5.9$$

Steps for Solving Linear Equation

Divide both sides by -10.

$$x+1=\frac{-69}{-10}$$

Fraction \frac{-69}{-10} can be simplified to \frac{69}{10} by removing the negative sign from both the numerator and the denominator.

$$x+1=\frac{69}{10}$$

Subtract 1 from both sides.

$$x=\frac{69}{10}-1$$

Convert 1 to fraction \frac{10}{10}.

$$x=\frac{69}{10}-\frac{10}{10}$$

Since \frac{69}{10} and \frac{10}{10} have the same denominator, subtract them by subtracting their numerators.

$$x=\frac{69-10}{10}$$

Subtract 10 from 69 to get 59.

$$x=\frac{59}{10}$$
