7-4x= 31

Bring over 7 to the other side

Positive 7 changes into negative 7

7-7-4x= 31-7

-4x= 24

Divide by -4 for -4x and 24

-4x/-4= 24/-4

x= -6

Check answer by using substitution method

7-4x= 31

7-4(-6)= 31

7+24= 31

31= 31

Answer:

C. x = -6

Step-by-step explanation:

Isolate the variable, x. Note the equal sign, what you do to one side, you do to the other. Do the opposite of PEMDAS.

First, subtract 7 from both sides:

7 - 4x = 31

7 (-7) - 4x = 31 (-7)

-4x = 31 - 7

-4x = 24

Divide -4 from both sides to isolate the variable, x:

(-4x)/-4 = (24)/-4

x = 24/-4

x = -6

x = -6, or C. is your answer.

Llana [10]

Answer:

The current vice president (as of 4-16-2021) of the U.S. is Kamala Harris. This is a non-statistical question.

Step-by-step explanation:

A statistical question can be answered by collecting data and where there will be variability in that data. The proposed question (Who is the current vice president of the U.S.?) does not allow for variability in the data as there is only one legitimate answer to the question, thus it is NOT a statistical question.
