hawnece is solving the equation x/7 − 4 = −6 . One of her steps is to multiply both sides of the equation by 7. Why? (1 point) Responses The negative sign in −6 must be changed to positive. The negative sign in negative 6 must be changed to positive. Multiplying both sides by 7 undoes the division of x by 7 in the original problem. Multiplying both sides by 7 undoes the division of x by 7 in the original problem. Multiplying both sides by 7 undoes the addition in the original problem. Multiplying both sides by 7 undoes the addition in the original problem. Multiplying both sides by 7 undoes the subtraction in the original problem.
