Question

10 POINTS Solve for x:
2x/7 - 18 = -6

x = -43
x = 56/3
x = 42

Answer 1

First of all move the -18 to the other side, remember to change the sign.

2x/7 = -6 + 18

So

2x/7 = 12

Now all you need to do is multiply both sides for 7/2 so you can obtain the x.

2x/7 * (7/2) = 12 * (7/2)

Simplify 12 and 2

x = 6 * 7

So

x = 42

Answer 2

Answer is "X=42"
