x = -539

Answer 1

To solve the equation \(-7x + 40 = -37\), follow these steps:

1. Subtract 40 from both sides: \[ -7x + 40 - 40 = -37 - 40 \] \[ -7x = -77 \]

2. Divide both sides by -7: \[ x = \frac{-77}{-7} \] \[ x = 11 \]

So, the solution is \(x = 11\).

Therefore, the correct response is: x = 11.
