-7x-24=-26 1/3
First step, change your mixed number to a fraction.
-26 1/3=-79/3
Add 24 to both sides of the equation.
You need to change 24 to a fraction with a denominator of 3 to add the fractions.
24=72/3
Substitute
Same denominator, just add numerators.
Divide both sides by (-7).
(-7) in denominator and numerator cancel out.
Check your answer.
-7x-24=-26 1/3
-7(1/3)-24=-26 1/3
Your answer led to a true statement.
It's a good answer.
