Solve the equation. $$ -(3-x)=-7 $$

Short Answer

Expert verified
The solution to the equation is \(x=-4\).

Step by step solution

01

Distribute the negative sign

Distribute the negative sign to each term inside the parentheses to get: \(-(3-x) = -7 \rightarrow (-1)*3-(-1)*x=-7 \rightarrow -3+x=-7 \)
02

Isolate variable x

Move -3 to the other side by adding 3 to both sides to isolate x: \( -3+x=-7 \rightarrow -3+x+3=-7+3 \rightarrow x=-4 \)
