Question

Solve for x:

negative 7 over 6, multiplied by x minus 6 equals negative 48

Answer 1

Hello, is your question -7/6 (x-6) = -48?
If so, you first have to isolate x (get x by itself) and then solve the equation normally.
to get rid of the -7/6 you simply multiply both sides of the equation by -6/7 which cancels it out.

here you go

-7/6(x-6) = -48
-6/7* -7/6 (x-6) = -48 * (-6/7)
x-6 = 288/7
+6 +6
x=288/7 + 42/7
x=330/7

hope that helps!
