Solve -21/5-(x-1,2)=6

$$- 2 \frac { 1 } { 5 } - ( x - 1,2 ) = 6$$

Solve for x

$$x=-7$$

Steps for Solving Linear Equation

Multiply both sides of the equation by 5.

$$-\left(2\times 5+1\right)-5\left(x-1,2\right)=30$$

Multiply 2 and 5 to get 10.

$$-\left(10+1\right)-5\left(x-1,2\right)=30$$

Add 10 and 1 to get 11.

$$-11-5\left(x-1,2\right)=30$$

Use the distributive property to multiply -5 by x-1,2.

$$-11-5x+6=30$$

Add -11 and 6 to get -5.

$$-5-5x=30$$

Add 5 to both sides.

$$-5x=30+5$$

Add 30 and 5 to get 35.

$$-5x=35$$

Divide both sides by -5.

$$x=\frac{35}{-5}$$

Divide 35 by -5 to get -7.

$$x=-7$$
