To solve for x, we need to isolate the variable x on one side of the equation.
Starting with the given equation:
-7x + 40 = -37
First, let's isolate x by subtracting 40 from both sides of the equation:
-7x + 40 - 40 = -37 - 40
-7x = -77
Next, let's solve for x by dividing both sides of the equation by -7:
-7x / -7 = -77 / -7
x = 11
Therefore, the solution to the equation -7x + 40 = -37 is x = 11.
Solve for x.
−7x+40=−37
