Solve for x -(1+7x)-6(-7-x)=36

Problem

−(1+7*x)−6*(−7−x)=36

Solution

1. Distribute the negative sign and the −6 into their respective parentheses.

−1−7*x+42+6*x=36

2. Combine like terms on the left side of the equation by grouping the x terms and the constant terms.

−x+41=36

3. Isolate the variable term by subtracting 41 from both sides of the equation.

−x=36−41

−x=−5

4. Solve for x by multiplying or dividing both sides by −1

x=5

Final Answer

−(1+7*x)−6*(−7−x)=36⇒x=5
