Answer :
We start with the equation:
[tex]$$
x + 7 = -9
$$[/tex]
To solve for [tex]$x$[/tex], we subtract [tex]$7$[/tex] from both sides of the equation:
[tex]$$
x + 7 - 7 = -9 - 7
$$[/tex]
This simplifies to:
[tex]$$
x = -16
$$[/tex]
Thus, the value of [tex]$x$[/tex] that makes the equation true is [tex]$-16$[/tex]. This corresponds to option A.
