Solve for x. can somebody me? i don’t understand how to do this.

"Solve for x" means get an equation that says " X = something ".  It has nothing but X all alone on one side, and the other side tells exactly what X is equal to.

How do you get such an equation ?  

-- Take what they gave you in the question.

-- Do anything you want on one side of it, to get X all by itself on that side.

BUT . . .

-- Whatever you do to one side, you must immediately do the same thing on the other side.

Here's how that goes:

Given in the question:  -1 = (5 + X) / 6

Multiply each side by 6 :  -6 = 5 + X

Subtract 5 from each side:  -11 = X

And there you are.  It's over almost as soon as it started.

step-by-step explanation:

at least i think its

the entire expression should be subtracted from 30. to subtract the quantity, distribute the negative sign, which changes the signs on the terms. so, the –2 changes to positive and gets added to 30 instead of subtracted from it.

hope this ! ^w^
