Answer:
x=1
Explanation:
To get the 7 away, we need to multiply it into the parentheses.
7*-10= -70
7*3=21
-70+21x= -49
Now we combine like terms and we move 70 over. Because we're moving it to the other side of the equation, it becomes positive.
21x= -49+70
-49+70 is the same as 70-49
70-49= 21
Now we put it together.
21x=21
To get the x by itself, we need to divide 21 on both sides.
21x/21= 21/21
21/21=1
x=1
