The first step in solving is to add 3 to both sides of the equation. What is the result?

OpenStudy (nuccioreggie):

-4 and 6

OpenStudy (nuccioreggie):

The answer is B correct @kropot72

OpenStudy (tkhunny):

Notation: (-7/3)x - 3 = -52 You can just type that in. Add 3 to both sides... (-7/3)x - 3 + 3 = -52 + 3 (-7/3)x = -49 Let the notation make the words and pictures.

What he said.

OpenStudy (nuccioreggie):

The answer is C

OpenStudy (kropot72):

\[\large -\frac{7x}{3}=-49\] The next step is to multiply both sides of this equation by 3. What do you get?

OpenStudy (nuccioreggie):

21

OpenStudy (kropot72):

\[\large -7x=-147\] Dividing each side by -7 gives the value of x.
