Question

2/3 (x – 7)= -2 i know x=4 but i need a good show of work for teacher worth 22 points make it worth it

Answer 1

Explanation:

⅔ (x – 7) = -2

Let's start by getting rid of the fraction. Multiply both sides by 3.

2 (x – 7) = -6

Distribute the 2:

2x – 14 = -6

Add 14 to both sides:

2x = 8

Divide both sides by 2:

x = 4
