What is the solution to this equation?
−6(x+7)=−30
Enter your answer in the box.

Answer:
x = -2
Step-by-step explanation:
-6(x + 7) = -30
distribute the -6
-6 * x = -6x and -6 * 7 = -42
-6x - 42 = -30
add 42 to both sides
-6x = 12
divide both sides by -6
-6x/-6 = x and 12/-6 = -2
we're left with x = -2
