7 0

Answer:

Add 7 to both sides

Step-by-step explanation:

You would need to add 7 to both sides to cancel out the 7 on the right side of the equation to get x one step closer to being by itself.

Then you would get 4x = -8.

Next divide by 4 on both sides to get x by itself so do the inverse operation of what 4 was doing to x.

x = -2

Given 6x + b/c = a, rearrange the equation for b, in terms of a, c, and x.

SVEN [57.7K]

Answer:

b = c(a - 6x )

Step-by-step explanation:

Given

6x + $\frac{b}{c}$ = a ( subtract 6x from both sides )

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

b = c(a - 6x)
