Question

X + 47 = -23 what is it

Answer 1

In order to solve for "x" we have to get the variable by itself. Since "47" is alongside "x", we need to subtract "47" from both sides. That cancels 47 on the left side, and leaves us with "-23 - 47" on the right side, which is "-70".

Therefore, "x = - 70"

Answer 2

x+47=-23
x=-23-47
x=-70
