$x = - 5.75$ $x = -5.75$

$7 (x + 7) + x = 4 (x + 5) + 6$ $7(x +7) + x = 4(x+5) +6$

$7 x + 49 + x = 4 x + 20 + 6$ $7x +49 + x = 4x +20 +6" "$ ( times the bracket )

$7 x + x - 4 x = 20 + 6 - 49$ $7x + x - 4x = 20 + 6 -49" "$ ( take all $x$ $x$ 's to one side )

$4 x = - 23$ $4x = -23$

$x = - 5.75$ $x = -5.75$

How do you solve 7(x+7)+x=4(x+5)+67( x + 7) + x = 4( x + 5) + 6?
