Given the numerical equation:
-3 = xy + 7
Solve for x.
Solution:
In order to solve for x, we equate the given numerical equation in terms of.
-3 = xy + 7
Start by transposing 7 on the other side of the equation, note that when transposing a number the sign changes.
- -3 -7 =xy
- - 10 = xy
- Divide both sides by y in order to get the value of x.
- - 10/y = xy/y
- x = -10/y
Final answer: x = -10/y
