    18 - 7x = - 20.5

    Subtract 18 from each side:

    -7x = - 38.5

    Divide both sides by - 7:

    x = - 38.5 / - 7

    x = - 5.5 = 5 1/2

    The answer is D.

    D. 5 1/2

    Step-by-step explanation:

    18-7x=-20.5

    Subtract 18 from each side

    18-18-7x=-20.5-18

    -7x = - 38.5

    Divide each side by - 7

    -7x = - 38.5/-7

    x = 5.5

    In fraction form

    x = 5 1/2
