.

6x + x = 56


7x     = 56


 x     = 56%2F7 = 8.


CHECK.  6*8 + 8 = 48 + 8 = 56.    ! Correct !

Solved.

-----------------

Next time,  please do not start with these words   "I need to know . . . ".

It is impolite.

You better omit these words,  at all.

Or,  even better,  say  "Help me please . . . ",   and so on . . . . .
