Answer:

x = -16

Step-by-step explanation:

2/3 x + 1 = 1/6 x -7

Multiply both sides of the equation by 6 to eliminate the fraction

6*(2/3 x + 1) =6( 1/6 x -7)

4x +6 = x -42

Subtract x from each side

4x-x +6 = -42

3x +6= - 42

Subtract 6 from each side

3x+6-6 = -42-6

3x = -48

3x/3 = -48/3

x = -16
