Solve the equation x/7 - 56= -54

pooja195 (pooja195):

welcome to openstudy! Add 56 to both sides

OpenStudy (misty1212):

HI!!

OpenStudy (misty1212):

add \(56\) then multiply by \(7\)

OpenStudy (anonymous):

do I change the sign?

OpenStudy (misty1212):

no dear, just add

sammixboo (sammixboo):

That is basically what you are doing when you add 56, the opposite of subtracting, then multiplying by 7, opposite of dividing

OpenStudy (misty1212):

you should get \[\frac{x}{7}=2\] as a first step

OpenStudy (misty1212):

since \(-54+56=2\)

OpenStudy (misty1212):

then multiply by \(7\) to get \(x\)

peeps with smartscore 99 should give chance to others:P

OpenStudy (misty1212):

ce que c'est "peeps"?

OpenStudy (anonymous):

peeps=people

OpenStudy (anonymous):

ok so x=7 then right since in front of an x is 1

OpenStudy (anonymous):

i mean 14

OpenStudy (anonymous):

or do I divide x÷7 and 7÷7?
