Answer 2

-7=6x-1
+1     +1            *Move the constants to one side and the variable to the other*

 6    6    
 x=-1         

*-7+1=-6 due to rules saying that if a negative number is added to a positive number, it will be subtracted and if the negative number is higher than the positive number, then the sum will be negative*

*We then divide by the number with the variable so we can isolate it.*
