Hi, my name is Aaron I am in 10th grade and im in honors trig/pre-calc.
The objective is to try and isolate X by its self. Start by subtracting 7 from both sides
-3x=18

Next divide both sides by -3
x=-6

Try the next problem on your own! its all about repetition good luck. Try doing the same exact process only with these different numbers. Hope I was helpful
