Answer:
x = -55
Step-by-step explanation:
7 + x/5 = -4
Combine the constants.
x/5 = -11
Multiply both sides by 5 to simplify the denominator.
Check.
7 + (-55)/5 = -4
7 + (-11) = -4
7 - 11 = -4
-4 = -4
Your answer is correct.
Hope this helps!
[tex]7 + \frac{x}{5} = - 4 \\ \frac{x}{5} = - 4 - 7 \\ = - 11 \\ x = - 11 \times 5 \\ = - 55[/tex]
