Question

7 + 2/3x= -1 can you help me solve

Answer 1

x = -12

Explanation:

multiply all terms by 3 to get whole numbers

->21+2x=-3

subtract 21 both sides to isolate the variable

->2x=-24

divide by 2 both sides to simplify

->x=-12

Answer 2

`7 + (2)/(3x) = - 1 \\ \implies \: (2)/(3x) = - 1 - 7 \\ \implies \: (2)/(3x) = - 8 \\ \implies \: 2 = - 24x \\ \implies \: x = - (2)/(24) \\ \implies \: x = - (1)/(12)`
