Question

5/7x - 14 = -22. Find x.

Answer 1

Answer:

x= -11.2

Step-by-step explanation:

5/7x-14=-22

      +14 +14        Add 14 on both sides

  5/7x = -8        

(7/5)*5/7x = -8*(7/5)     Multiply by the reciprocal on both sides to leave x alone

  x= -11.2      Answer

Answer 2

Answer:

x = -56/5, -11 1/5, or -11.2

Step-by-step explanation:

5/7x - 14 = -22

5x -98 = -154

5x = -154 + 98

5x = -56

x = -56/5, -11 1/5, or -11.2
