Question

What does x equal? 2/7(x+4)=−6

Answer 1

Answer:

$\boxed{x=-25}$

Step-by-step explanation:

$\frac{2}{7} (x+4)=-6$

→ Multiply everything by 7 to get rid of the fraction

$2(x+4)=-42$

→ Expand the bracket

$2x+8=-42$

→ Minus 8 from both sides to isolate 2x

$2x=-50$

→ Divide both sides by 2 to isolate x

$x=-25$
