Answer: - 9 .
____________________________________
Step-by-step explanation:
_________________________________________

7 + 6x = -47 ; solve for "x" ;

subtract "7" from each side;
________________________
7 + 6x - 7 = -47 - 7 ;

to get:

6x = -54 ;
_____________________
Now, divide EACH side of the equation by "6"; to isolate "x" on one side of the equation; and to solve for "x" ;
__________________________________________
6x / 6 = -54 / 6 ;
____________________________________
x = -9 ; which is our answer.
