Answer 2

x = -72

Explanation:

Given equation,

→ -0.125x + 7 = 16

Now we have to,

→ Find the required value of x.

Then the value of x will be,

→ -0.125x + 7 = 16

Subtract RHS with the number 7:

→ -0.125x = 16 - 7

→ -0.125x = 9

Divide RHS with the number -0.125:

→ x = 9 ÷ (-0.125)

→ [ x = -72 ]

Hence, the value of x is -72.
