Question

$$\frac{-1}{6}\times x=2$$

Solve for x

$x=-12$

Steps for Solving Linear Equation

Fraction $\frac{-1}{6}$ can be rewritten as $-\frac{1}{6}$ by extracting the negative sign.

$$-\frac{1}{6}x=2$$

Multiply both sides by $-6$, the reciprocal of $-\frac{1}{6}$.

$$x=2\left(-6\right)$$

Multiply $2$ and $-6$ to get $-12$.

$$x=-12$$
