7(-8+x)=9-6x take me through the steps to answer the equation.

7(-8+x)=9-6x

distribute

-56 +7x = 9 -6x

add 6x to each side

-56 +13x = 9

add 56 to each side

13x =65

divide by 13

x=5

x=5

x = 5

Step-by-step explanation:

7(-8 + x) = 9 - 6x

To solve this equation, we need to get x by itself on one side of the equation.

-56 + 7x = 9 - 6x --- distribute the 7 across the parenthesis

-56 + 13x = 9 --- add 6x to both sides

13x = 65 --- add 56 to both sides

x = 5 --- divide both sides by 13
