Question

What is x in this equation -7(x+-2)=-63

Answer 1

To find the value of x , we need to simplify it.

The given equation is
`\fbox{-7(x+(-2))=-63}`

Multiplying -7 with x and -2

=> -7x+14 = -63

Transposing 14 to right hand side with change in sign,

=> -7x = -63-14

=> -7x = -77

Canceling ‘-‘ on both sides ,

=> 7x = 77

=> x=
`(77)/(7)`

=> x = 11

Hence the required value of x is
`\fbox{x= 11}`.
