Hello!

no, that is not the correct way to isolate x. you were somewhat on the right track however.

here's the correct way:

add 7 to both sides to get -3x = -6

then divide both sides by -3 to get x = 2

I hope this helps, and have a nice day!

(b)

Consider the numerator

To obtain 5ab² from ab, multiply by 5b
