Question

5/7x - 14 = -22. Find x.

Answer 1

x= -11.2

Explanation:

5/7x-14=-22

+14 +14 Add 14 on both sides

5/7x = -8

(7/5)*5/7x = -8*(7/5) Multiply by the reciprocal on both sides to leave x alone

x= -11.2 Answer

Answer 2

x = -56/5, -11 1/5, or -11.2

Explanation:

5/7x - 14 = -22

5x -98 = -154

5x = -154 + 98

5x = -56

x = -56/5, -11 1/5, or -11.2
