8[7 - (6x - 6)] + 6x = 0 Distribute the -1 to each term in (6x - 6) .
8[7 - 6x + 6] + 6x = 0 Distribute the 8 to each term in [7 - 6x + 6] .
56 - 48x + 48 + 6x = 0 Combine like terms.
104 - 42x = 0 Subtract 104 from both sides of the equation.
- 42x = - 104 Divide both sides of the equation by -42 .
x = 52 / 21
x ≈ 2.476
