How do you solve #2x-6/4=-7#?

Answer 1

Genesis Allen

# color(green)(x= -11/4#

#2x - 6/4 = -7#

#(8x - 6)/4 = -7#

#8x - 6= -28#

#8x = -28 + 6#

#x =-22/8#

# color(green)(x= -11/4#

To solve the equation ( \frac{2x - 6}{4} = -7 ), first, multiply both sides of the equation by 4 to eliminate the fraction. This gives you ( 2x - 6 = -28 ). Then, add 6 to both sides to isolate the term with ( x ). So, ( 2x = -22 ). Finally, divide both sides by 2 to solve for ( x ). Therefore, ( x = -11 ).
