Answer:
-1
Step-by-step explanation:
1.)Reorder the terms:
7(8 + x) = 49
(8 * 7 + x * 7) = 49
(56 + 7x) = 49
2.)Solving
56 + 7x = 49
3.)Solving for variable 'x'.
4.)Move all terms containing x to the left, all other terms to the right.
5.)Add '-56' to each side of the equation.
56 + -56 + 7x = 49 + -56
6.)Combine like terms: 56 + -56 = 0
0 + 7x = 49 + -56
7x = 49 + -56
7.)Combine like terms: 49 + -56 = -7
7x = -7
8.)Divide each side by '7'.
x = -1
9.)Simplifying
x = -1
