7\left(x+1\right)-117=18x
Multiply both sides of the equation by 9.
7x+7-117=18x
Use the distributive property to multiply 7 by x+1.
7x-110=18x
Subtract 117 from 7 to get -110.
7x-110-18x=0
Subtract 18x from both sides.
-11x-110=0
Combine 7x and -18x to get -11x.
-11x=110
Add 110 to both sides. Anything plus zero gives itself.
x=\frac{110}{-11}
Divide both sides by -11.
x=-10
Divide 110 by -11 to get -10.
