Hello,

I hope you and your family are staying safe and healthy!

Answer: 0

Step-by-step explanation:


7x + (-7) = 9x - 7


7x - 7 = 9x - 7

Now susbtract
9x from both sides


7x -7 - 9x = 9x - 7 - 9x\\-2x - 7 = -7

Then add 7 to both sides


-2x - 7+7=-7+7\\2x=0


x = (0)/(-2) \\x = 0

Answer:

x=0

Explanation:

7x+(-7)=9x-7

Add 7 to each side

7x+(-7)7=9x-7+7

7x = 9x

Subtract 7x from each side

7x-7x = 9x-7x

0 = 2x

Divide by 2

0 = 2x/2

0 = x
