Simplify the equation.

First, distribute the 2 in the left side of the equation.
Resulting in: 2x-6 = (x-1) + 7

Second, remove the parentheses form the right side of the equation (there is nothing to distribute there).
Resulting in: x - 1 + 7

Now simplify the right side of the equation by subtracting the 1 from the 7.
Resulting in: x + 6

Our goal is to isolate the x to the left side, and the numerals to the right side.
With that in mind, add the 6 (from the right side) to both sides. This cancels out the 6 on the right side.
Resulting in: 2x = 12

Lastly, in order to fully isolate the variable (x), we divide both sides by 2.
Resulting in: x = 6

Hope this helps.
