write a two-step equation that involves multiplication and subtraction, includes a negative coefficient, and has a solution of x=7

Verified Answer :

-60x+20 = -400
x equals 7

Answer:

Hence, the equation is:

\(-3x-7=-28\)

and the solution is:

\(3x=28-7\\\\3x=21\\\\x=7\)

Step-by-step explanation:

A two step equation is a equation that takes just two steps to solve.

Now we have to formulate a  two-step equation that involves multiplication and subtraction, includes a negative coefficient, and has a solution of x=7.

negative coefficient means that the coefficient of the variable term must be negative.

so, we take a equation as:

\(-3x-7=-28\)

Clearly the coefficient of variable term is: -3 which is negative.

Now we solve the equation as:

\(3x=28-7\\\\3x=21\\\\x=7\)

Hence, the equation is:

\(-3x-7=-28\)
