Answer:

x = -8

Step-by-step explanation:

to solve this kind of problem is very simple , just be very careful about the negative and positive signs.

-7+2x = -6x -71

we will collect the like terms or simply say that you will combine the like terms

we  have,

-7 + 2x + 6x = -71

2x + 6x = -71 + 7

8x = -64

divide both sides by 8

8x/8 = -64/8

x = -8

Answer:

Step-by-step explanation:

-7+ 2x = -6x -71

Cancel out the equation to add on to the other side. Anyway works.

If you add or subtract a number from left to right, the other add or subtract needs to be right to left. Vise versa.

-7 +2x = -6x -71

+7 +6x = +6x +7

-7 +2x = -6x -71

+7 +6x = +6x +7

Then you will get: -8x = -64

Because X is not by itself, you want to divide the number by itself cancel out ONLY the number and not X. When you cancel out a number, it has to be applied to the whole equation and thus you will get -64/-8 = Answer

8x = -64

8 = 8

X = -8
