<font face="Times New Roman" size="+2">

A number: *[tex \LARGE x]


Seven times a number: *[tex \LARGE 7x]


The difference between 18 and 7 times a number:  *[tex \LARGE 18\ -\ 7x]


One more than...*[tex \LARGE 18\ -\ 7x\ +\ 1]


Is: =


So:


One more than the difference between 18 and seven times a number is -9:


*[tex \LARGE \ \ \ \ \ \ \ \ \ \ (18\ -\ 7x)\ +\ 1\ =\ -9]


Solve for *[tex \LARGE x]
