Answer:
Simplifying
6 + -8x = 7x + -9x + -36
Reorder the terms:
6 + -8x = -36 + 7x + -9x
Combine like terms: 7x + -9x = -2x
6 + -8x = -36 + -2x
Solving
6 + -8x = -36 + -2x
Solving for variable 'x'.
Move all terms containing x to the left, all other terms to the right.
Add '2x' to each side of the equation.
6 + -8x + 2x = -36 + -2x + 2x
Combine like terms: -8x + 2x = -6x
6 + -6x = -36 + -2x + 2x
Combine like terms: -2x + 2x = 0
6 + -6x = -36 + 0
6 + -6x = -36
Add '-6' to each side of the equation.
6 + -6 + -6x = -36 + -6
Combine like terms: 6 + -6 = 0
0 + -6x = -36 + -6
-6x = -36 + -6
Combine like terms: -36 + -6 = -42
-6x = -42
Divide each side by '-6'.
x = 7
Simplifying
x = 7
