X - 7 = 46 - 9 (x + 7)

x =

x=-1

Step-by-step explanation:

x - 7 = 46 - 9 (x + 7)

distribute

x-7 = 46 - 9x - 63

Combine like terms

x-7 = - 9x-17

Add 9x to each sid

x-7+9x = - 9x+9x - 17

10x-7 = - 17

Add 7 to each side

10x - 7+7 = - 17+7

10x = - 10

10x/10 = - 10/10

x = - 1

x = - 1

Step-by-step explanation:

x - 7 = 46 - 9 (x + 7)

x - 53 = - 9x - 63

10x = - 10

x = - 1
