Answer:
We want to solve the equation:
x*6 - 9 = 7
To solve this we need to isolate x in one side of the equation.
First, we need to add 9 in both sides of the equation to get:
(x*6 - 9) + 9 = 7 + 9
x*6 - 9 + 9 = 16
x*6 = 16
Now we can divide both sides by 6, to get:
x*6/6 = 16/6
x = 16/6 = 2.66
This is not an integer as the question wants, so i only can suppose that the question is incorrectly written.
If the equation was something like:
x/6 - 9 = 7
Using the same approach than before (the only difference is that we multiply both sides by 6 in the second step), we would get:
x/6 = 7 + 9 = 16
x/6 = 16
x = 16*6 = 96
x = 96
Which is an integer, so i suppose that the actual equation is "x/6 - 9 = 7" instead of "x*6 - 9 = 7"
