Solve using multiple principle.
7x=-56
The solution x= -8
or x= 7(-8)= -56
x=-8
(1/7) 7 x = (1/7) (-56)
x = -56/7
x = -8
check
7 (-8) = -56 yes
To solve the equation 7x = -56 using the multiplication principle, we need to isolate the variable x.
First, we divide both sides of the equation by 7 to get:
(7x) / 7 = (-56) / 7
Simplifying further, we have:
x = -8
So the solution to the equation 7x = -56 is x = -8.
