Question

$$966:(133+x)=7$$

Solve for x

$x=5$

Steps for Solving Linear Equation

Variable $x$ cannot be equal to $-133$ since division by zero is not defined. Multiply both sides of the equation by $x+133$.

$$966=7\left(x+133\right)$$

Use the distributive property to multiply $7$ by $x+133$.

$$966=7x+931$$

Swap sides so that all variable terms are on the left hand side.

$$7x+931=966$$

Subtract $931$ from both sides.

$$7x=966-931$$

Subtract $931$ from $966$ to get $35$.

$$7x=35$$

Divide both sides by $7$.

$$x=\frac{35}{7}$$

Divide $35$ by $7$ to get $5$.

$$x=5$$
