-8/5x - 6 = -54
-8/5x = -54 + 6
-8/5x = - 48
x = -48 * - 5/8
x = -240/-8
x = 30

or

-8/5x - 6 = -54....multiply by 5 to get rid of fractions
-8x - 30 = - 270
-8x = -270 + 30
-8x = - 240
x = -240/-8
x = 30

Ckaranja

\(\frac{-8}{5} (x-6)=-54\)
\(\frac{-8}{5} x+ \frac{48}{5} =-54\)
\(\frac{-8}{5} x=-54- \frac{48}{5}\)
x=(\(\frac{-270}{5} - \frac{48}{5)} * \frac{-5}{8}\)
x=\(\frac{-318}{5}*( \frac{-5}{8} )\)
x=39.75
