Answer:
Explanation:
Given the equation:
[tex]-8-7x=111[/tex]To solve for x, first of all, add 8 to both sides of the equation:
[tex]\begin{gathered} -8-7x+8=111+8 \\ \\ -7x=119 \end{gathered}[/tex]Divide both sides by -7
[tex]\begin{gathered} \frac{-7x}{-7}=\frac{119}{-7} \\ \\ x=-\frac{119}{7} \end{gathered}[/tex]
