42x+18+6=-7x+24
Use the distributive property to multiply 6 by 7x+3.
42x+24=-7x+24
Add 18 and 6 to get 24.
42x+24+7x=24
Add 7x to both sides.
49x+24=24
Combine 42x and 7x to get 49x.
49x=24-24
Subtract 24 from both sides.
49x=0
Subtract 24 from 24 to get 0.
x=0
Product of two numbers is equal to 0 if at least one of them is 0. Since 49 is not equal to 0, x must be equal to 0.
