Question

what is the value of x? solve the equation by using the distributive property first. rewrite the equation to represent the remaining values. 7\\(\left(x - \frac{3}{7}\
ight)\\) = -24 7x - 3 = -24 + 3 + 3 \boxed{} = \boxed{}

Explanation:

Step1: Simplify left side

After adding 3 to both sides of \(7x - 3 = -24\), the left side becomes \(7x - 3 + 3 = 7x\).

Step2: Simplify right side

Adding 3 to -24: \(-24 + 3 = -21\).

Answer:

\(7x = -21\)
