Question 173330


{{{-(1+7x)-6(-7-x)=36}}} Start with the given equation.



{{{-1-7x+42+6x=36}}} Distribute.



{{{-x+41=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=(-5)/(-1)}}} Divide both sides by {{{-1}}} to isolate {{{x}}}.



{{{x=5}}} Reduce.
