If x/5+6=-14, then x=? - answer A. -100.

We want to isolate x by performing inverse operations, and whatever you do to one side you do to the
other..

Begin by subtracting 6 both sides of the equation...such that 6 and -6 cancels out on the left hand side..

(x/5) + 6 - 6 = -14 - 6

(x/5) = -20

Now find the way to cancel out the 5 under the variable we are isolating, which is multiplying both sides
of the equation by 5...
(x/5) * 5 = -20 * 5

x = -100
