Question

$$7(x-3)+8=-13$$

Solve for x

$x=0$

Steps for Solving Linear Equation

Use the distributive property to multiply $7$ by $x-3$.

$$7x-21+8=-13$$

Add $-21$ and $8$ to get $-13$.

$$7x-13=-13$$

Add $13$ to both sides.

$$7x=-13+13$$

Add $-13$ and $13$ to get $0$.

$$7x=0$$

Product of two numbers is equal to $0$ if at least one of them is $0$. Since $7$ is not equal to $0$, $x$ must be equal to $0$.

$$x=0$$
