Question

Solve the equation. check for extraneous solutions.|x+24|=-7xplease show work

Answer 1

 x+27=-7x
-x .      -x
    27=-8x
  /-8     /-8
-3.375=x

First subtract x from both sides to move x on the left to the right.
Next you have to add the negitive x to neitive 7 to get negitive 8. 
After you move everything down you divide negitive 8 feom both sides of the equation to get x alone. Finailly you get -3.375=x as your final answer. If you need to round then the answer is -3.38=x. Hopefully this is right and helps
