Question:
The product of 7 and x is -28. What is the value of x?
Answer:
The value of x is -4
Solution:
Given that product of 7 and x is -28
We have to find the value of "x"
From given statement:
Product of 7 and x is -28
Here, "product" means that muliplication
So, multiplication of 7 and x is equal to -28
Thus, we frame a equation as:
[tex]7 \times x = -28\\\\7x = -28\\\\Divide\ both\ sides\ of\ equation\ by\ 7\\\\\frac{7x}{7} = \frac{-28}{7}\\\\x = -4[/tex]
Thus value of x is -4
