Question

7(-10+3x)=-238 help plz solving one varible equations

Answer 1

The answer to this question is X= -8

First do the distributive property and you get : -70 + 21x= -238

Then you add 70 to both sides : 21x= -168

Then you divide -168 with 21 and get the answer of -8

Answer 2

To solve the above equation, first step is to use the distribution property. So,

7(-10+3x)=-238

-70 + 21x = -238

-70 + 21x + 70 = -238 + 70 Add 70 to each sides of the equation.

21x = -168

$\frac{21x}{21} =-\frac{168}{21}$

So, x = -8
