Question

What is the answer for -7+x/3=-13

Answer 1

Answer:

x = - 18

Step-by-step explanation:

Given

- 7 + $\frac{x}{3}$ = - 13 ( add 7 to both sides )

$\frac{x}{3}$ = - 6 ( multiply both sides by 3 to clear the fraction )

x = - 18

Answer 2

Answer:

x = -32  or x = -18    Depends on how the equation is written

Step-by-step explanation:

-7 + x/3 = -13

Find the answer by solving for x.

If the equation is written like this:

$\frac{-7+x}{3} = -13$           Multiply both sides by 3 and add 7 to both sides

x = -32

Or if the equation is written like this:

$-7+\frac{x}{3} =-13$        Add 7 to both sides and then multiply by 3

x = -18
