Question 667462
{{{-7x-50=2x+112}}} Start with the given equation.



{{{-7x=2x+112+50}}} Add {{{50}}} to both sides.



{{{-7x-2x=112+50}}} Subtract {{{2x}}} from both sides.



{{{-9x=112+50}}} Combine like terms on the left side.



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



{{{x=(162)/(-9)}}} Divide both sides by {{{-9}}} to isolate {{{x}}}.



{{{x=-18}}} Reduce.
