Question

9x-7=-52 Show all work and justify each step

Answer 1

Answer:

x = -5

Step-by-step explanation:

9x - 7 = -52

we want to single out x,

add 7 to both sides to be one step closer to getting x alone

9x - 7 + 7 = -52 + 7

9x = -45

divided both sides by 9 to get x alone

9x / 9 = -45 / 9

x = -5

Let me know if you need any clarification!

Answer 2

$9x - 7 = - 52$

Firstly rearrange the variable on the left side of the equation...

$9x = - 52 + 7$

Calculate the sum or differences

$9x = - 45$

$x = - \frac{45}{9}$

$x = - 5$
