Question

The difference of six times a number and 7 is -49

Answer 1

Greetings!

"The difference of six times a number and 7 is -49"...

In number and variables, this would be:

`6x-7=-49`

Add 7 to both sides.

`(6x-7)+7=(-49)+7`
Simplify.

`6x=-42`
Divide both sides by 6.

`(6x)/6=(-42)/6`
Simplify.

`x=-7`

Hope this helps.
