Answer:

x=18

Explanation:

Given the equation:


(x)/(6)-7=-4

To solve for x, follow the steps below.

Step 1: Add 7 to both sides of the equation.


\begin{gathered} (x)/(6)-7+7=-4+7 \\ \implies(x)/(6)=3 \end{gathered}

Step 2: Multiply both sides of the equation by 6.


\begin{gathered} (x)/(6)*6=3*6 \\ x=18 \end{gathered}

The value of x that makes the equation true is 18.
