This simplifies to:
x = 7
Therefore, the solution to the equation is x = 7.
can you show your steps
Certainly! I apologize for not showing my steps earlier. Here is the detailed solution:
To solve the equation −6x = −42, we want to isolate the variable x.
First, we can divide both sides of the equation by -6 to "undo" the coefficient of x:
-6x / -6 = -42 / -6
This simplifies to:
x = 7
Therefore, the solution to the equation is x = 7.
I hope this clears up any confusion. Let me know if you have any further questions!
