Verified Answer :

2/5x-6=-16
The first step would be to isolate the x. so add 6 to both sides.

Answer:

first step is to add 6 on both sides

Step-by-step explanation:

the first step needed to solve 2 over 5 multiplied by x minus 6 equals negative 16

\(\frac{2}{5} x - 6 = -16\)

To solve for x we need to get 'x' alone

To get 'x' alone we need to remove the constant (number) without having x

Here -6 is a constant

Opposite operation of -6 i s+6

To  eliminate -6 we add 6 on both sides

\(\frac{2}{5} x - 6+6= -16+6\)

\(\frac{2}{5} x= -10\)

So first step is to add 6 on both sides
