= 29/12 + 46/12 + 44/12 - 5/12

= 114/12

$\huge\boxed{x=-6}$

Hey there! Our goal here is to isolate the variable on one side of the equation.

$\begin{aligned}-7(x+6)&=4(x+6)&&\smash{\Big|}&&\textsf{Start with the original equation.}\\-7x+(-7)(6)&=4x+4(6)&&\smash{\Big|}&&\textsf{Distribute.}\\-7x-42&=4x+24&&\smash{\Big|}&&\textsf{Multiply.}\\-7x-4x&=24+42&&\smash{\Big|}&&\textsf{Move the terms.}\\-11x&=66&&\smash{\Big|}&&\textsf{Combine like terms.}\\x&=\boxed{-6}&&\smash{\Big|}&&\textsf{Divide both sides by $-11$.}\end{aligned}$
