Question

X/5 + 7 = -3
Solve for x

Answer 1

x= -50

Explanation:

To solve for x, we need to isolate x

x/5 + 7 = -3

Subtract 7 from both sides to "reverse" the addition

x/5=-10

Multiply both sides by 5 to "reverse" the division being done to x

5*x/5= -10*5

x= -50

Answer 2

x = -50

Explanation:

First, you minus 7 from both sides toget x/5 = -10, then you multiply 5 on both sides to get x = -50.
