Question 5 of 5
Type the correct answer in the box. Use numerals instead
What value of x makes this equation true?
X/6 - 7 = -4

Answer 1

`x = 18`

Explanation:

Given

`(x)/(6) - 7 = -4`

Required

Solve for x

`(x)/(6) - 7 = -4`

Add 7 to both sides

`(x)/(6) - 7+7 = -4+7`

`(x)/(6) = -4+7`

`(x)/(6) = 3`

Multiply through by 6

`6 * (x)/(6) = 3 * 6`

`x = 3 * 6`

`x = 18`
