c-36
d-49

Answer 1

a. 36

Explanation:

Solve for x:

`\longrightarrow`
`\sf - (7)/(6) x` - 6 = -48

Add 6 both sides:

`\longrightarrow`
`\sf - (7)/(6) x` + (6 - 6) = -48 + 6

6 - 6 = 0

`\longrightarrow`
`\sf - (7)/(6) x` = -48 + 6

-48 + 6 = -42

`\longrightarrow`
`\sf - (7)/(6) x` = -42

Multiply both side by
`- (6)/(7)`:

`\longrightarrow`
`\sf - (7)/(6) x * \bigg(-(6)/(7) \bigg) = -42 * \bigg(-(6)/(7) \bigg)`

`\sf - (7)/(6) x * \bigg(-(6)/(7) \bigg) = x:`

`\longrightarrow`
`\sf x= -42 * \bigg(-(6)/(7) \bigg)`

`\sf -42 * \bigg(-(6)/(7) \bigg) = 36:`

`\longrightarrow` x = 36

Answer 2

-7x/6-6=-48

-7x-36=-288

-7x=-288+36

x=-252/-7

x=36 answer
