-7x-50=2x%2B112 Start with the given equation.


-7x=2x%2B112%2B50 Add 50 to both sides.


-7x-2x=112%2B50 Subtract 2x from both sides.


-9x=112%2B50 Combine like terms on the left side.


-9x=162 Combine like terms on the right side.


x=%28162%29%2F%28-9%29 Divide both sides by -9 to isolate x.


x=-18 Reduce.
