solve for the value of x.

Question

y=−7
x=−9y−5
x
=
−9(−7) − 5
x
=

Answer 1

To solve for the value of \( x \), we start with the equation given:

\[ x = -9y - 5 \]

Given that \( y = -7 \), we substitute \(-7\) for \( y \):

\[ x = -9(-7) - 5 \]

Now, calculate \(-9 \times -7\):

\[ -9 \times -7 = 63 \]

Now, we substitute that back into the equation:

\[ x = 63 - 5 \]

Now, perform the subtraction:

\[ x = 58 \]

Therefore, the value of \( x \) is:

\[ \boxed{58} \]
