Solve -6=5/-1x+B

$$- 6 = \frac { 5 } { - 1 } x + B$$

Solve for B

$$B=5x-6$$

Solution Steps

Fraction \frac{5}{-1} can be rewritten as -5 by extracting the negative sign.

$$-6=-5x+B$$

Swap sides so that all variable terms are on the left hand side.

$$-5x+B=-6$$

Add 5x to both sides.

$$B=-6+5x$$

Solve for x

$$x=\frac{B+6}{5}$$

Steps for Solving Linear Equation

Fraction \frac{5}{-1} can be rewritten as -5 by extracting the negative sign.

$$-6=-5x+B$$

Swap sides so that all variable terms are on the left hand side.

$$-5x+B=-6$$

Subtract B from both sides.

$$-5x=-6-B$$

The equation is in standard form.

$$-5x=-B-6$$

Divide both sides by -5.

$$\frac{-5x}{-5}=\frac{-B-6}{-5}$$

Dividing by -5 undoes the multiplication by -5.

$$x=\frac{-B-6}{-5}$$

Divide -6-B by -5.

$$x=\frac{B+6}{5}$$
