Question

The equation i need help with in math is x-7=-13, i need a step by step anwser

Answer 1

If x - 7 = -13, we need to get x by itself to solve this equation. To get x by itself, we can add 7 to each side (that way x will be by itself, and only on one side of the equation).

x - 7 + 7 = -13 + 7

We can add 7 to each side without changing the quantity because we do it to BOTH sides.

x = -13 + 7

Since -13 + 7 is -6,

x = -6
