Answer:
Step-by-step explanation:
Plug in -7 for the variable a.
9x - 6(-7) = -7
Follow PEMDAS. Note the equal sign, what you do to one side, you do to the other. Isolate the variable, x.
Multiply -6 with -7
9x - 6(-7) = -7
9x + 42 = -7
Isolate the variable x. Subtract 42 from both sides
9x + 42 (-42) = -7 (-42)
9x = -49
Divide 9 from both sides
(9x)/9 = (-49)/9
x = (-49)/9
x = ~5.44 (rounded)
