Solve the equation - 10x + 1 + 7 = 37

-2.9

Step-by-step explanation:

-10x + 1 + 7 = 37

Combine like factors.

-10x + 8 = 37

Subtract 8 from both sides.

-10x = 29

Divide both sides by - 10.

x = - 2.9

x = - 29/10 = - 2 9/10

Step-by-step explanation:

-10x + 1 + 7 = 37

Combine like terms

-10x + 8 = 37

Subtract 8 from each side

-10x + 8-8 = 37-8

-10x = 29

Divide each side by - 10

-10x/-10 = 29/-10

x = - 29/10

x = - 2 9/10
