Question

Solve each equation. Check your solution.

$447+x=-261$

Step-by-Step Solution

Answer

The required solution is $x=-708$.

Step 1. Write the given information.

The given equation is: $447+x=-261$

Step 2. Calculation.

Consider the given equation,

$$\begin{gathered} 447+x=-261 \\ x=-261-447 \\ x=-708 \end{gathered}$$

Step 3. Checking solution.

Substitute $x=-708$ in the given equation, we get

$$\begin{gathered} 447+x=-261 \\ 447+\left(-708\right)=-261 \\ 447-708=-261 \\ -261=-261 \end{gathered}$$

Hence, proved.
