Question

x-7= -3(x+1) over 5

What is x?

Answer 1

Answer:

x=4

Step-by-step explanation:

Multiply to remove the fraction, then set equal to  0  and solve.

Answer 2

Answer is x=4. Multiply by 5 on each side to cancel out the denominator.
5x-35=-3x-3
Add 3x and 35 to each side
5x + 3x = -3 + 35
8x = 32
Divide both by 8
X = 4
