Question

X-3
----- = -1 how do I solve this?
22

Answer 1

So first you multiply 22 to both sides, which cancels 22 from the left side.


This will leave you with x - 3 = -22


Then you add three to both sides, which cancels -3 from the left side.


This will leave you with x = -22 + 3, also simplified to x = -19


Hope this helps.
