Shawnee is solving the equation x/7-4=-6. One of her steps is to multiply both sides of the equation by 7

1 answer

When Shawnee multiplies both sides of the equation x/7 - 4 = -6 by 7, she will get 7 * (x/7) - 7 * 4 = 7 * (-6).

Multiplying 7 on the left side of the equation simplifies as 7 * (x/7) = 1 * x, which is just x.

Multiplying 7 by each term on the right side of the equation gives 7 * 4 = 28.

Therefore, the equation becomes x - 28 = -42.
