Add the numbers
−64x3
−64x3−7=0
Move the constant to the right-hand side and change its sign
−64x3=0+7
Removing 0 doesn't change the value,so remove it from the expression
−64x3=7
Change the signs on both sides of the equation
64x3=−7
Divide both sides
6464x3=64−7
Divide the numbers
x3=64−7
Use b−a=−ba=−ba to rewrite the fraction
