More Steps

Simplify

6 x - 56 x

Collect like terms by calculating the sum or difference of their coefficients

(6 - 56) x

Subtract the numbers

- 50 x

- 50 x - 5 = 0

Move the constant to the right-hand side and change its sign

- 50 x = 0 + 5

Removing 0 doesn't change the value,so remove it from the expression

- 50 x = 5

Change the signs on both sides of the equation

50 x = - 5

Divide both sides

\frac{50 x}{50} = \frac{- 5}{50}

Divide the numbers

x = \frac{- 5}{50}

Solution

More Steps

Evaluate

\frac{- 5}{50}

Cancel out the common factor 5

\frac{- 1}{10}

Use \frac{- a}{b} = \frac{a}{- b} = - \frac{a}{b} to rewrite the fraction

- \frac{1}{10}

x = - \frac{1}{10}

Alternative Form

x = - 0.1
