Answer:

x = -12

Explanation:

To find "x" you must first add 6 (inverse of 6) to both sides to start isolating the variable.

7x - 6 + 6 = -90 + 6

7x = -84

Then, to further the isolate the variable, divide both sides by 7. (This is because "x" is being multiplied by 7)

7x ÷ 7 = -84 ÷ 7

x = -12

And that is how you find x!
