Explanation:
The linear equation required to solve the problem is missing.
however, i am quoting an example from my sides on similar lines as question
7x+8=-13
Since the left side is the “x”, or variable side, the 8 is out of place. We must “undo” adding 8 by subtracting 8, and to keep the equality we must subtract 8 from both sides.
.
Use the Subtraction Property of Equality. .
Simplify. .
Now all the variables are on the left and the constant on the right.
The equation looks like those you learned to solve earlier.
Use the Division Property of Equality. .
Simplify. .
Check: .
Let x=-3. .
