Answer:

x = -8

Explanation:

16+6-6x-4 = -7x+3+7

18 - 6x = -7x + 10

-6x + 7x = 10 - 18

x = -8

Check:

18 - 6*-8 = -7*-8 + 10

18 + 48 = 56 + 10 = 66

Answer:

x = -8

Explanation:

16+6-6x-4=-7x+3+7

Combine like terms

18 -6x = -7x+10

Add 7x to each side

18-6x+7x = -7x+7x+10

18+x = 10

Subtract 18 from each side

18+x-18 = 10-18

x = -8
