Answer:

x = - 11

x + 7 = -4

Step-by-step explanation:

[tex]3(x + 7) = - 12 [/tex]

Multiply each term in parentheses by 3

[tex]3x + 3 \times 7 = - 12[/tex]

Multiply 3 and 7

[tex]3x + 21 = - 12[/tex]

Move the constant to the right side and change the sign

[tex]3x = - 12 - 21[/tex]

Find the sum of negative numbers

[tex]3x = - 33[/tex]

Divide both side by the same number

[tex]x = - 11[/tex]

= x + 7

= -11 + 7

Add the term - 11 + 7

= -4

Hey ! mate

Answer:

  • x + 7 = -4

  • x = -11

Step-by-step explanation:

In this question we have given an equation that is 3( x + 7 ) = -12 and we have asked to find the value of x + 7 and x .

We are starting our solution from here :

[tex] \longmapsto \: 3( x + 7 ) = -12 [/tex]

Transposing 3 to right hand side :

[tex] \longmapsto \: x + 7 = \frac{ - 12}{3} [/tex]

Now , dividing -12 by 3 :

[tex] \longmapsto \: \blue{\boxed{x + 7 = -4}}[/tex]

  • Therefore , value of x + 7 is - 4 .

Now ,

[tex] \longmapsto \:x + 7 = - 4[/tex]

Transposing 7 to right hand side :

[tex] \longmapsto \:x = - 4 - 7[/tex]

[tex] \longmapsto \: \blue{ \boxed{x = - 11}}[/tex]

  • Therefore , value of x is -11 .
