Question

Find the value of the variable

-7x-x=-6

Answer 1

Hi there !!

Given,

to find the value of x

$- 7x - x = - 6$
Adding -7x and -x, we have,

$- 8x = - 6$
Cancelling the negative signs,
we have,

$8x = 6$

$x = \frac{6}{8}$

Reducing the answer to it's simpliest form,
we have,

$x = \frac{2 \times 3}{2 \times 4} = \frac{3}{4}$

Thus,

$x = \frac{3}{4}$

Answer 2

-7x - x= -6
=-7x + (-x)= -6 = -8x = -6
x=-8 / -6= 3/4
