My problem is going to be x/7 - -12=66

Answer 1

\[\large \frac{x}{7} - (-12) = 66\]

Answer 2

Yeah

Answer 3

Well you first need to remember that subtracting a negative turns positive..so we have

\[\large \frac{x}{7} + 12 = 66\]

Look better?

Answer 4

Yep

Answer 5

So now we subtract 12 from both sides

\[\large \frac{x}{7} = 54\]
And now multiply both sides by 7

\[\large x = 54 \times 7\]
\[\large x = ?\]
