Answer:
Empty square = +
Empty Circle = ÷
Step-by-step explanation:
In order to eliminate the extra numbers from the equation you have to do the opposite of the problem. So…
-6x-1=5
-6x -1+1 = 5+1 (eliminating the 1 from the -6x side and adding it to the other side)
-6x = 6
-6x ÷ -6 = 6 ÷ -6 ( eliminating the-6 so that one side just has x)
so… x= -1
