Question

Solve the equation for x.
- 7(x + 4) - 4= - 32
Integer or fraction

Answer 1

Answer and process:
-7(x-4) -4= -32
-7x +28 -4= -32
-7x +24 = -32
-7x = -32-24
-7x = -54
x= -54/7

Answer 2

x=0

Explanation:

- 7(x + 4) - 4= - 32

Add 4 to each side

- 7(x + 4) - 4+4= - 32+4

- 7(x + 4) = - 28

Divide by -7

- 7(x + 4) /-7= - 28/-7

x+4 = 4

Subtract 4 from each side

x+4-4 = 4-4

x=0
