When you are doing distributive property, it can only happen if a number or exponent is before the bracket. From this equation, you can solve for x like so:

7(x+5)-x=42

7x+35-x=42 -Using distributive property (Multiplication)

6x=7 -Collecting like terms.

x= 7/6 -The answer.

Therefore x would equate to 7/6.
