7x-3= -24 what is x and how do you find it?

Answer 1

x= -3

Explanation:

You do the opposite.

So,

-24 +3

= -21

-21/ 7

= -3

Therefore, the answer is -3

Answer 2

x = -3

Explanation:

7x - 3 = -24 (Given)

7x - 3 + 3 = -24 + 3 (Added 3 on both sides by using the addition property of equality)

7x = -21 (Simplified)

7x/7 = -21/7 (Divided 7 on both sides by using the division property of equality)

x = -3 (Simplified)

Therefore, x = -3.
