-%281%2B7x%29-6%28-7-x%29=36 Start with the given equation.


-1-7x%2B42%2B6x=36 Distribute.


-x%2B41=36 Combine like terms on the left side.


-x=36-41 Subtract 41 from both sides.


-x=-5 Combine like terms on the right side.


x=%28-5%29%2F%28-1%29 Divide both sides by -1 to isolate x.


x=5 Reduce.
