Given the equation:
cx - 4 = 7
Solve for x.
Solution:
In order to solve for x, we simply need to transpose first -4 to the other side of the equation, hence it must be taken to note that in transposing a number, the sign changes.
cx - 4 = 7
cx = 7 + 4
cx = 11
Divide both sides by c, in order to cancel out cx, leaving behind x.c
cx/c = 11/c
x = 11/c
Final answer:
x = 11/c
