Answer: x = -3

Explanation:

To solve for x, we first need to get all the terms with x on one side of the equation, and all the terms without x on the other side of the equation. We can do this by first subtracting 6x on both sides of the equation.

7x + 3 = 6x

7x + 3 - 6x = 6x - 6x

Combine like terms.

x + 3 = 0

Now, get all the terms without x on the other side of the equation. The only term without an x is 3. So, we need to subtract 3 on both sides of the equation.

x + 3 - 3 = 0 - 3

x + 0 = -3

x = -3
