Solve for x 7 (x - 9) = 8x - 6

x = - 57

Step-by-step explanation:

7x-63+8x-6

-x-63-7

-x=57

x=-57

x = - 57

Step-by-step explanation:

Simplify both sides of the equation:

Distribute:

(7) (x) + (7) (-9) = 8x + - 6

7x + - 63 = 8x - 6

7x - 63 = 8x - 6

Subtract 8x from both sides

7x-63-8x=8x-6-8x

-x - 63 = - 6

Add 63 to both sides

-x - 63 + 63 = - 6 + 63

-x = 57

Divide both sides by - 1

-x / - 1 = 57 / - 1

Therefore, you get x = - 57
