Question

Solve for x -18 - 16 = 7x+ 34

Answer 1

Answer:

x = -68/7          (-9.71428571429)

Step-by-step explanation:

Solve for x

-18 - 16 = 7x+ 34

- 18 - 16 - 34 = 7x

-68 = 7x

x = -68/7

----------------------

check

-18 - 16 = 7 * (-68/7) + 34

-18 - 16 - 34 = -68

-68 = -68

the answer is good

Answer 2

X-18-16 = 7x + 34

Simplify:

X -34 = 7x + 34

Add 34 to both sides:

X = 7x + 68

Subtract 7x from both sides:

-6x = 68

Divide both sides by-6

X = -34/3 = -11 1/3
