The coefficient is \( -\frac{6}{1} \). What value can you multiply both sides of the equation by so that the coefficient becomes 1 ?

To transform the coefficient \( -\frac{6}{1} \) into 1, you need to multiply both sides of the equation by the reciprocal of the coefficient, which is \( -\frac{1}{6} \). When you multiply \( -\frac{6}{1} \) by \( -\frac{1}{6} \), you get 1, effectively simplifying your equation! On a fun note, this technique of multiplying by the reciprocal is a superhero move in algebra! It’s like turning a heavy weightlifting task (a large coefficient) into a smooth glide across the finish line (reaching that desired coefficient of 1) – what an empowering transformation!
