6(x-6)=x(16-7)

6 * x = 6x
6 * -6 = -36
x * 16 = 16x
x * -7 = -7x
Therefore:
6x - 36 = 16x - 7x
Combine like terms:
16x - 7x = 9x
6x - 36 = 9x
Subtract 6x from each side of the equation.
6x - 36 - 6x = 9x - 6x
Combine like terms:
6x - 6x = 0
9x - 6x = 3x
-36 = 3x or
3x = -36
Divide each side by 3
3x/3 = -36/3
x = -12

The Answer:
x = -12
