Answer:

-24b - 16c - 36a = -28

Explanation:

Given the initial equation of 9a + 6b + 4c = 7 and looking at the second equation of -24b - 16c - 36a, I notice that all of the coefficients of the variables have been multiplied by a factor of -4. Since all of the factors have been multiplied by the same factor, multiplied the answer to the equation by a -4 as well will give us the answer to the problem. Since the original answer is 7, multiplying this answer by a factor of -4: (7)(-4) = -28.
