Question

X/3-4=-7 please help me solve

Answer 1

X/3 -4 = 7
    +4   +4
Cancel -4 and 4

x/3 = 11
Multiply 11 by 3 = 33
x=33

Check:

33/3 - 4 = 7  ✓

Answer 2

In order to solve this we need to get x by itself on one side.

We need o start by adding across the 4 so that we get:

x/3 = -7 + 4 = -3

We then need to multiply both sides by 3 to get a singular x:

x = -3 * 3 = -9
