Please help and explain. The question is in the picture below.

Answer 1

D and yes

Explanation:

`(x)/(4)` + 1 = -3 If we multiply both sides of the equation by 4 will will get the second equation

(4)
`(x)/(4)`+ (4) 1 = (4) -3

x + 4 = -12 We solve this for x by subtracting 4 from both sides.

x = -16

Plug -7 into both equations and you will see that it is a solution

`(x)/(4)` + 1 = -3

`(-16)/(4)` + 1 = -3

-4 + 1 = -3

-3 = -3

x + 4 = =12

-16 + 4 = -12

-12 - -12
