To solve for x, we can begin by isolating x on one side of the equation.
Starting with the equation:
(-9/8)x - 7 = -25
First, we can add 7 to both sides of the equation to get rid of the -7 on the left side:
(-9/8)x - 7 + 7 = -25 + 7
Simplifying:
(-9/8)x = -18
Next, we can multiply both sides of the equation by the reciprocal of (-9/8), which is (-8/9). This will eliminate the fraction on the left side of the equation:
(-8/9)(-9/8)x = (-8/9)(-18)
Simplifying:
x = 16
Thus, the solution to the equation is x = 16.
