Answer:
-7x + 14 = 56
Subtract 14 both sides
-7x + 14 - 14 = 56 - 14
-7x = 42
Divide both sides by -7
(-7x)/(-7) = 42/(-7)
x = -6
To solve for x, you need to isolate/get the variable "x" by itself in the equation:
-7x + 14 = 56 Subtract 14 on both sides
-7x = 42 Divide -7 on both sides to get "x" by itself
-25/27
