HELP!! How do you solve this? *BEST ANSWER 10 PTS!!!*?

Simplifying

-7 + -0.75x = 14

Solving

-7 + -0.75x = 14

Move all terms containing x to the left, all other terms to the right.

Add '7' to each side of the equation.

-7 + 7 + -0.75x = 14 + 7

Combine like terms: -7 + 7 = 0

0 + -0.75x = 14 + 7

-0.75x = 14 + 7

Combine like terms: 14 + 7 = 21

-0.75x = 21

Divide each side by '-0.75'.

x = -28

Simplifying

x = -28

First, get all the numbers without variables on the same side of the equation.

-7 - 3/4x = 14

You need to get rid of the seven, so if you add 7 to both sides, you can take care of it

7 + (-7) - 3/4x = 7 + 14

-3/4x = 21

Now, you have to get rid of the 3/4 in front of 3/4x. If we divide -3/4 by -3/4, we'll get 1. So, divide both sides by -3/4

-3/4x 21

over = over

-3/4 -3/4

and you can do the rest!

X = 6.

OK

- 7 + - 3 = -10, plus ten to 14 = 24. 24/4 = 6.
