X/2+3=-7 record your steps in your own words.
the first step would be to do what on each side of the equation to obtain the equation then multiply each side of the equation to get x= what?

First step is to subtract 3 so you'd now have -x/2=-10 (-3-7=-10) the second step would be to multiply by 2 to get rid of the denominator so 2(-x/2)=-10(2). You now have -x=-20 so you now divide by -1 because -x=-1x, so the answer is x=20.
