Question

$$-7-6x=17-3x$$

Solve for x

$x=-8$

Steps for Solving Linear Equation

Add $3x$ to both sides.

$$-7-6x+3x=17$$

Combine $-6x$ and $3x$ to get $-3x$.

$$-7-3x=17$$

Add $7$ to both sides.

$$-3x=17+7$$

Add $17$ and $7$ to get $24$.

$$-3x=24$$

Divide both sides by $-3$.

$$x=\frac{24}{-3}$$

Divide $24$ by $-3$ to get $-8$.

$$x=-8$$
