What is x? -7/9(x+3)=14
7/9(x+3)=147x/9 + 21/9 = 14 (21/9 =7/3)7x/9 = 14 -7/37x/9 = (42-7) /37x/9 = 35 /37x = 35 9 /3 7x = 35 3x = 35 3 /7x = 5 3 x=15
You distribute the -7/9 to the x+3. So it would be -7/9x-7/3=14. Add -7/3 to both sides to get x by itself. So then it would be -7/9x=49/3. Divide both sides by -7/9 and then x=-21
