-6x-25=x+40
Cancel out 20 on both sides.
-6x-25-x=40
Subtract x from both sides.
-7x-25=40
Combine -6x and -x to get -7x.
-7x=40+25
Add 25 to both sides.
-7x=65
Add 40 and 25 to get 65.
x=\frac{65}{-7}
Divide both sides by -7.
x=-\frac{65}{7}
Fraction \frac{65}{-7} can be rewritten as -\frac{65}{7} by extracting the negative sign.
