Solve the equation below, and check the solution. -6x+7=79 the solution set is? brainliest answer

Alright so, in order to solve an equation, you must have the unknown by itself.

So, we first subtract 7 from both sides and get a new equation.

-6x = 72

Now we divide by -6 so that x is by itself.

x = -12.

Now, -12 is a *possible* solution to the equation.  The way to find out is to check.  Checking the answer means "plugging in" the number into the equation, and seeing if it solves. so.

-6 * -12 + 7 = 79

72 + 7 = 79

79 = 79

So, since the answer checked out, -12 is a solution to the equation.

Hope this helps.

the answer is c. 23/3
