what is x?

-x + 7 = 10

1 answer

To find the value of x in the equation -x + 7 = 10, we can start by isolating the variable x.

We can do this by subtracting 7 from both sides of the equation:
(-x + 7) - 7 = 10 - 7
-x = 3

To get the value of x, we need to multiply both sides of the equation by -1 (or divide by -1):
-x/-1 = 3/-1
x = -3

Therefore, x = -3.
