Math Problem Statement

11/7x + 6 = -16

Solution

Let's solve the equation:

117x+6=16\frac{11}{7}x + 6 = -16

Step 1: Subtract 6 from both sides

117x=166\frac{11}{7}x = -16 - 6 117x=22\frac{11}{7}x = -22

Step 2: Multiply both sides of the equation by 7 to eliminate the fraction

11x=22×711x = -22 \times 7 11x=15411x = -154

Step 3: Divide both sides by 11

x=15411x = \frac{-154}{11} x=14x = -14

So, the solution is:

x=14x = -14
