Answer 1

`\Large \boxed{\mathrm{see \ below}}`

Explanation:

Given.

(4x)/7 - 6 = -20

The x variable should be isolated on one side of the equation.

Adding 6 to both sides of the equation.

(4x)/7 - 6 + 6 = - 20 + 6

(4x)/7 = - 14

Multiplying both sides of the equation by 7.

(4x)/7 × (7) = - 14 × (7)

4x = - 98

Dividing both sides of the equation by 4.

(4x)/4 = - 98/4

x = - 24.5
