-(x+7) = -6x +8
\n" ); document.write( "distribute the - over (x+7)
\n" ); document.write( "-x -7 = -6x + 8
\n" ); document.write( "add 6x to both sides of =
\n" ); document.write( "5x -7 = 8
\n" ); document.write( "add 7 to both sides of =
\n" ); document.write( "5x = 15
\n" ); document.write( "x = 3
