Question

What is the answer for -7x= -96

Answer 1

Hello!

To solve, this, perform the opposite operation of what is being done on both sides. Here, we see x being multiplied by -7. The opposite operation of multiplication is division.

Therefore, to solve this, divide both sides by -7.

-7x = -96

-7x / -7 = -96 / -7

x = -96/-7

When you divide two negative numbers, they become a positive.

x = 96/7

This cannot be simplified further as a fraction, but if you would like the exact decimal, it is about 13.714.

Hope this helps!
