Answer:

x = -5

Step-by-step explanation:

9x - 7 = -52

we want to single out x,

add 7 to both sides to be one step closer to getting x alone

9x - 7 + 7 = -52 + 7

9x = -45

divided both sides by 9 to get x alone

9x / 9 = -45 / 9

x = -5

Let me know if you need any clarification!

[tex] 9x - 7 = - 52[/tex]

Firstly rearrange the variable on the left side of the equation...

[tex]9x = - 52 + 7[/tex]

Calculate the sum or differences

[tex]9x = - 45[/tex]

[tex]x = - \frac{45}{9} \\ [/tex]

[tex]x = - 5[/tex]
