Question

Solve the equation. Check your solution.

$7x=-3$

Answer 1

Step 1 : Solve the equation

We have,

$\Rightarrow 7x=-3$

$\Rightarrow \frac{7x}{7}=\frac{-3}{7}$ [ Divide by $7$ both sides ]

$\therefore x=\frac{-3}{7}$

Step 2 : Checking the solution

Checking by putting $x=\frac{-3}{7}$ in the given inequality

we have,

$\Rightarrow 7x=-3$

$\therefore 7\times \frac{-3}{7}=-3$ {Satisfied}

Hence, the required solution is $x=\frac{-3}{7}$
