The correct response is:
Multiplying both sides by 7 undoes the division of x by 7 in the original problem.
In the equation \( x7 - 4 = -6 \), Shawnece is likely trying to isolate \( x \). To do this, she would first add 4 to both sides to get \( x7 = -2 \), and then multiplying both sides by 7 would help eliminate the division of \( x \) by 7.
