Question

$$246 \div (7 \times (x+1)-15)=6$$

Solve for x

$x=7$

Steps for Solving Linear Equation

Variable $x$ cannot be equal to $\frac{8}{7}$ since division by zero is not defined. Multiply both sides of the equation by $7x-8$.

$$246=6\left(7x-8\right)$$

Use the distributive property to multiply $6$ by $7x-8$.

$$246=42x-48$$

Swap sides so that all variable terms are on the left hand side.

$$42x-48=246$$

Add $48$ to both sides.

$$42x=246+48$$

Add $246$ and $48$ to get $294$.

$$42x=294$$

Divide both sides by $42$.

$$x=\frac{294}{42}$$

Divide $294$ by $42$ to get $7$.

$$x=7$$
