Question

Drag the correct steps into order to solve the equation -7x + 14 = 56 for x.

Answer 1

To solve for x, you need to isolate/get the variable "x" by itself in the equation:

-7x + 14 = 56 Subtract 14 on both sides

-7x = 42 Divide -7 on both sides to get "x" by itself

x = -6

Answer 2

-7x + 14 = 56

Subtract 14 both sides

-7x + 14 - 14 = 56 - 14

-7x = 42

Divide both sides by -7

(-7x)/(-7) = 42/(-7)

x = -6
