Question

-7x+2=-2x-33 what is x?

Answer 1

-7x + 2x = -33 - 2
-5x = -35
x = 7

Answer 2

x = 7

Explanation:

Solve for 'x':

-7x + 2 = -2x - 33

Subtract 2 from both sides,

-7x = -2x - 33 - 2

-7x = -2x - 35

Add 2x to both sides,

-7x + 2x = -35

-5x = -35

Divide both sides by (-5),

x = (-35) ÷ (-5)

x = 7
