Question

7 + x/5 = - 4 x=___ help

Answer 1

`7 + (x)/(5) = - 4 \\ (x)/(5) = - 4 - 7 \\ = - 11 \\ x = - 11 * 5 \\ = - 55`

Answer 2

x = -55

Explanation:

7 + x/5 = -4

Combine the constants.

x/5 = -11

Multiply both sides by 5 to simplify the denominator.

x = -55

Check.

7 + (-55)/5 = -4

7 + (-11) = -4

7 - 11 = -4

-4 = -4

Your answer is correct.

Hope this helps!
