5x-4\left(2-6-\left(-7x\right)\right)=2x
To find the opposite of 6-7x, find the opposite of each term.
5x-4\left(2-6+7x\right)=2x
The opposite of -7x is 7x.
5x-4\left(-4+7x\right)=2x
Subtract 6 from 2 to get -4.
5x+16-28x=2x
Use the distributive property to multiply -4 by -4+7x.
-23x+16=2x
Combine 5x and -28x to get -23x.
-23x+16-2x=0
Subtract 2x from both sides.
-25x+16=0
Combine -23x and -2x to get -25x.
-25x=-16
Subtract 16 from both sides. Anything subtracted from zero gives its negation.
x=\frac{-16}{-25}
Divide both sides by -25.
x=\frac{16}{25}
Fraction \frac{-16}{-25} can be simplified to \frac{16}{25} by removing the negative sign from both the numerator and the denominator.
