0=-6x-1-7
Combine -2x and -4x to get -6x.
0=-6x-8
Subtract 7 from -1 to get -8.
-6x-8=0
Swap sides so that all variable terms are on the left hand side.
-6x=8
Add 8 to both sides. Anything plus zero gives itself.
x=\frac{8}{-6}
Divide both sides by -6.
x=-\frac{4}{3}
Reduce the fraction \frac{8}{-6} to lowest terms by extracting and canceling out 2.
