Answer:
Add 7 to both sides
Step-by-step explanation:
You would need to add 7 to both sides to cancel out the 7 on the right side of the equation to get x one step closer to being by itself.
Then you would get 4x = -8.
Next divide by 4 on both sides to get x by itself so do the inverse operation of what 4 was doing to x.
x = -2
Answer:
Imagine an easier version of this problem: You have a board 5 feet long that you must cut (divide, right?) into two equal parts. It is probably clear to you that you simply divide the length (5) by the number of parts you're dividing it into (2) to obtain the length of each piece (2.5 feet).
Use the same method for your problem 5 feet divided by 6 is 0.83 feet per piece.
We do not ordinarily divide feet into decimal portions, but instead into inches. Since an inch is 1/12 of a foot, you could simply say 5/6 = how many twelfths? or 5/6 = n/12 Solve this by inspection or by cross multiplying 5 times 12 equals n times 6. So n must equal 10, and your pieces of board are each 10 inches long.
