Answer:
The solution is -22
Step-by-step explanation:
The solution of an equation is the value of the variable of the equation
∵ -(4x - 3) = -7(9 + x)
→ Simplify each side
∵ -(4x) - -(3) = -7(9) + -7(x)
∴ (-4x) - (-3) = -63 + (-7x)
→ Remember (-)(-) = (+) and (-)(+) = (-)
∴ -4x + 3 = -63 - 7x
→ Add 7x to both sides
∴ -4x + 7x + 3 = -63 - 7x + 7x
∴ 3x + 3 = -63
→ Subtract 3 from both sides
∵ 3x + 3 - 3 = -63 - 3
∴ 3x = -66
→ Divide both sides by 3
∴ x = -22
∴ The solution is -22
