Question

Solve by describing your steps$\frac{x}{9} - 7 = -15$

Answer 1

Answer:

x= -72

Step-by-step explanation:

To solve, we need to isolate the variable, x

$\frac{x}{9} -7 = -15$

Add 7 to both sides

$\frac{x}{9} -7 +7=-15+7$

$\frac{x}{9} = -8$

Multiply both sides by 9

$9(\frac{x}{9})= -8(9)$

x= -72
