Answer 3

Sure, I can help! :)

Answer 4

thanks

Answer 5

From 7x + 6 = –22, minus 6 on both sides. Do that.

Answer 6

To take six out.

Answer 7

Refresh your page if you see weird symbols, I don't know why it does that.

Answer 8

We want to find X = "something".

Answer 9

So after you take six out, 7x = ?

Answer 10

would X= 16?

Answer 11

No. Let's not jump there yet.

Answer 12

what is -22-6?

Answer 13

-28 right

Answer 14

Right!

So now that we took six out of "7x + 6 = –22", we have "7x + 0 = –28". That makes 7x + 0 = –28.

Answer 15

do you need A C?

Answer 16

Why do you say do I need A C?

Answer 17

there is no anwser for A C

Answer 18

wait so the anwser is D

Answer 19

I never said the answer was A C

Answer 20

oh ok

Answer 21

So now that we have 7x = -28, divide by 7 on both sides. what is -28/7? that makes -4.

The answer is x = -4. This was a relatively simple linear equation.
