Question

what value of $x$ is the solution to the equation below?
$-4 = \frac{x}{7}$

Explanation:

Step1: Isolate x by multiplying 7

Multiply both sides of the equation by 7 to solve for $x$.
$$-4 \times 7 = \frac{x}{7} \times 7$$

Step2: Simplify both sides

Calculate the left-hand side and cancel terms on the right-hand side.
$$-28 = x$$

Answer:

$x = -28$
