X is a variable, a variable you have to divide to cancel out
⓵ You need to solve the left side first in order to isolate the × and find it’s value :
-7× + 6 = 27
-6 -6
↓
-7× = 21
÷-7 ÷-7
↓
× = -3
If you find it too difficult to divide a number by a negative, just divide 21 by 7 and always remember that when dividing, when the signs are different the answer is negative. So knowing that you could just divide 21 by 7, which is 3, and add a negative sign in front!
I hope this helped, if there’s anything let me know! ☻
Do you have a picture of the diagram?
Answer:
Step-by-step explanation:
(27)^(-1/3) + (32)^(-2/5)
1/3 + 1/4
4/12 + 3/12 = 7/12
