Answer:

Explanation:

I believe you need to just combine like terms:

5 + 7x +10 = -41

Try to get the 7x alone:

7x + 15= -41

To get 7x alone completely have it alone on the side move the 15 to the other side of the =.

7x +15 = -41

-15 -15

you'll get

7x= -55

then you need to get x all alone so divide the 7from both sides

7x=-55

/7 /7

Your solution will be:

x=-7.857 round to whichever place you need

answer:


15 + 7 * = - 41 \\ 7 * = - 41 - 15 \\ 7 * = - 56 \\ * = - 8
