Answer:
x = -639 / 4819 (x = -0.1326 [rounded])
Explanation:
7x - 7/79 = 68x + 8
{subtract 7x from both sides to begin to isolate x}
7x - 7/79 = 68x + 8
-7x - 7x
- 7/79 = 61x + 8
{subtract 8 from both sides to isolate x}
- 7/79 = 61x + 8
- 8 -8
{8 = 632/79}
- 639 / 79 = 61x
{divide both sides by 61 to isolate x}
-639 / 79 = 61x
÷ 61 ÷61

-639 / 4819 = x
