Answer: x= [tex]-\frac{7}{2} = -3 \frac{1}{2} = -3.5[/tex]
Step-by-step explanation:
−(7−2x)+7=−7
To find the opposite of 7−2x, find the opposite of each term.
−7−(−2x)+7=−7
The opposite of −2x is 2x.
−7+2x+7=−7
Add −7 and 7 to get 0.
2x=−7
Divide both sides by 2.
[tex]x = \frac{-7}{2}[/tex]
Fraction −7/2 can be rewritten as −2/7 by extracting the negative sign.
[tex]x = -\frac{7}{2}[/tex]
