What is the value of x in the equation −6 + x = −1? (5 points) a
−5

b
−7

c
7

d
5

5

Step-by-step explanation:

Add 6 to both sides. The answer is 5.

5

Step-by-step explanation

since we are looking for the value of x,we have to make it the subject of the formula(stand alone).

Therefore,-6 would cross over the equality sign and it would become =6.

NOTE:when a negative number crosses the equality sign,it becomes a positive number.

This implies that x= -1+6

NOTE:when you come across - + +(minus plus plus),u would have to minus.

and to know the sign that would be at the front of the answer,just take a look at the sign the bigger number holds.At this point it is plus.

Therefore,x= -1 +6

x=5(u could have stated it was +5 but it isnt necessary since there is an invisible plus sign at the front of a number as long as minus is not there
