Question

Consider the equation .(-22+3x/3x+7)=2

How do you begin isolating the variable x to one side of the equation? Multiply both sides by 3x + 7. Divide both sides by 3x + 7. Multiply both sides by -22 + 3x. Divide both sides by -22 + 3x. _______

The solution of the equation is______

Answer 1

Multiply both sides by 3x + 7. Divide both sides by 3x + 7. Multiply both sides by -22 + 3x. Divide both sides by -22 + 3x

Explanation:

Answer 2

Answer: The solution of the above equation would be -12.

and First option is correct " Multiply both sides by 3x + 7."

Explanation:

Since we have given that

`(-22+3x)/(3x+7)=2`

First we multiply (3x+7) on both sides , we get

`-22+3x=2(3x+7)`

And then we will solve it for the value of 'x'.

`-22+3x=6x+14\\\\-22-14=6x-3x\\\\-36=3x\\\\(-36)/(3)=x\\\\-12=x`

Hence, the solution of the above equation would be -12.

and First option is correct " Multiply both sides by 3x + 7."
