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

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

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

So first step is to add 6 on both sides

this was already solved by me with a different person. if you look it up in the search bar at the top of the page, you will get the answer.

answer:  

step-by-step explanation:

here x represents the height of the pole,

and, the height of the shadow of the pole is 12 feet.

also, the angle of elevation from the top of the pole is 40°,

therefore,

by the low of sine,

which is the required equation for finding the value of x,
