x/7 - 47 = -6

Answer 1

To solve for x, we want to isolate the x term on one side of the equation.

x/7 - 47 = -6

First, we can get rid of the fraction by multiplying every term by 7:

7(x/7 - 47) = 7(-6)

This simplifies to:

x - 329 = -42

Next, we want to isolate the x term by getting rid of the constant term on the left side. We can do this by adding 329 to both sides of the equation:

x - 329 + 329 = -42 + 329

Simplifying this gives:

x = 287

Therefore, the solution to the equation is x = 287.
