Question

What does x equal? 2/7(x+4)=−6

Answer 1

`\boxed{x=-25}`

Explanation:

`(2)/(7) (x+4)=-6`

→ Multiply everything by 7 to get rid of the fraction

`2(x+4)=-42`

→ Expand the bracket

`2x+8=-42`

→ Minus 8 from both sides to isolate 2x

`2x=-50`

→ Divide both sides by 2 to isolate x

`x=-25`
