How do you solve #7( x + 7) + x = 4( x + 5) + 6#? Algebra Linear Equations Equations with Variables on Both Sides 1 Answer Ester T. · Stefan V. Aug 19, 2017 #x = -5.75 # Explanation: #7(x +7) + x = 4(x+5) +6# #7x +49 + x = 4x +20 +6" "# ( times the bracket ) #7x + x - 4x = 20 + 6 -49" "# ( take all #x#'s to one side ) #4x = -23# #x = -5.75 # Answer link Related questions How do you check solutions to equations with variables on both sides?
