Respuesta :
ok, the first thing we need to do it to isolate the variable.
7x+18=-24
-18 -18
7x=-42
then divide to cancel out multiplication
7x=-42
--- ---
7 7
x=-6
7x+18=-24
-18 -18
7x=-42
then divide to cancel out multiplication
7x=-42

7 7
x=-6
7x + 18 = -24
Take 18 to the other side.
7x + 18 - (18) = -24 - (18)
7x = -42
Divide both sides by 7:
[tex] \frac{7x}{7} [/tex] = [tex] -\frac{42}{7} [/tex]
7 and 7 cancels out
x = -6
Take 18 to the other side.
7x + 18 - (18) = -24 - (18)
7x = -42
Divide both sides by 7:
[tex] \frac{7x}{7} [/tex] = [tex] -\frac{42}{7} [/tex]
7 and 7 cancels out
x = -6
