How do you solve #-7x + 3 = -15/2#?

Answer 1

#x # would be * #3/2 or 1.5# *

To find #x# you would put 3 on the other side and it going to become negative.

So like this..... #-7x + 3 = -15/2# #-7x = -15/2 - 3# And then you calculate it ..... #-7x= -10.5# And then you divide each side by -7 to isolate it.... #-7x/-7= -10.5/-7# #x= 1.5 or 3/2#

To solve the equation -7x + 3 = -15/2, first subtract 3 from both sides to isolate the term with the variable. This gives -7x = -15/2 - 3. Then, simplify the right side to get -7x = -15/2 - 6/2. Combining the fractions gives -7x = -21/2. Finally, divide both sides by -7 to solve for x, which yields x = (-21/2) / (-7) = 3/2.

When evaluating a one-sided limit, you need to be careful when a quantity is approaching zero since its sign is different depending on which way it is approaching zero from. Let us look at some examples.
