X/5 + 7 = - 3

Solve for x

x = - 50

Step-by-step explanation:

To solve for x, we need to isolate x

x/5 + 7 = - 3

Subtract 7 from both sides to "reverse" the addition

x/5=-10

Multiply both sides by 5 to "reverse" the division being done to x

5*x/5 = - 10*5

x = - 50

x = - 50

Step-by-step explanation:

First, you minus 7 from both sides toget x/5 = - 10, then you multiply 5 on both sides to get x = - 50.
