1- add 7 to both sides
(3x/5)=-6
2- multiply by 5 to get rid of it
3x=-30
3- divide by 3 to get x
x=-10
:D

You have to isolate the X
(3x/5) -7 = -13
(3x/5) = -13 +7
(3x/5) = -6
the inverse operations of division is multiplication so you multiply 5 (LCD) on both sides which then cancels out the division of 5 and leaves you with 3x=-30.
3x=-30
x= -30/3
x=-10
check your work
(3(-10)/5) -7 = -13
(-30/5) -7 = -13
-6 -7 = -13 (Correct)

Move the 7 to the other side of the equal sign by adding it to -13 to get 3x/5 = -6
multiply -6 by 5 to get 3x by itself. Now you should have 3x = -30
Divide - 30 by 3 to get the value of x. X = -10
A simple rule to remember is to do the opposite to a number when you move it to the other side of the equal sign. A divide becomes a multiply, a subtract become an add. Good Luck.

3x/5=7-13 add 7 to both sides
3x=-30 multiply both sides by 5
x= -10 divide both sides by 3

(3x/5) = -13 + 7
(3x/5) = -6
x= -6 . 5/3
x= -10

(3x/5)-7=-13 add 7 to both sides
(3x/5)=-6 multiply both sides by 5
3x=-30 divide both by 3
x=-10

transpose -7 to the other side, and when you do this, it becomes +7
3x/5= -13+7
3x/5= -6
multiply 5 * -6
3x= -30
bring down 3 on the other side
X = -30/3
X = -10

don't think is right :
bring 7 on the other side
3x/5= -13+7
3x/5=-6
multiply on the left and right by 5
3x= -30
x= -10

-10
i think because
(3x/5)= -13+7
3x/5= -6
3x= -6 * 5
3x= -30
x= -30/3
x= -10
i think thats right
