x = 6/5

Explanation:

Rearrange unknown terms to the left side of the equation:

7x − 2x = −1 + 7

Combine like terms:

5x = −1 + 7

Calculate the sum or difference:

5x = 6

Divide both sides of the equation by the coefficient of variable:

x = 6 ÷ 5

Calculate the product or quotient:

x = 1.2

Express the number in fractions:

x= 6/5

Answer:

x = 6/5
