First subtract 4 on both sides of the equation

4 + -4 x/7 = 2 - 4

x/7 = 2 - 4

Can you tell me what is 2 - 4?

2

Answer 3

Solve. 4 + x/7 = 2

Subtract 4 from both sides

x/7 = -2

Then multiply both sides by 7

x = -14

Answer is -14

Thanks! both of you

No problem!

Answer 6

You're just solving for the variable. All you have to do is eliminate all other things surround the variable until it stands alone on that side of the equation.

Answer 7

x = 5

or

x = 11
