8\left(7-x\right)=-7x
Multiply both sides of the equation by 7.
56-8x=-7x
Use the distributive property to multiply 8 by 7-x.
56-8x+7x=0
Add 7x to both sides.
56-x=0
Combine -8x and 7x to get -x.
-x=-56
Subtract 56 from both sides. Anything subtracted from zero gives its negation.
x=56
Multiply both sides by -1.
