Answer:

x = -32 or x = -18 Depends on how the equation is written

Explanation:

-7 + x/3 = -13

Find the answer by solving for x.

If the equation is written like this:


(-7+x)/(3) = -13 Multiply both sides by 3 and add 7 to both sides

x = -32

Or if the equation is written like this:


-7+(x)/(3) =-13 Add 7 to both sides and then multiply by 3

x = -18
