$x = - 2$ $x=-2$

this can be done by equations solving

$- 97 = - 2 - 5 (7 - 6 x)$ $-97=-2-5(7-6x)$

Add $2$ $2$ to both sides

$-97+2=cancel(-2)-5(7-6x)cancel(+2$

$-95=-5(7-6x)$

divide the two sides by $-5$

$19=7-6x$

Subtract 7 from both sides

$19-7=cancel(7)-6xcancel(-7$

$12=-6x$

Divide both sides by $-6$

$x=-2$

How do you solve -97= - 2- 5( 7- 6x )−97=−2−5(7−6x)-97= - 2- 5( 7- 6x )?
