First, expand brackets, so

-7x-7-6=-41x+55

Next, combine like terms. To do this, add 41x to both sides of the equals sign, so you get 34x-7-6=55.

Then move the -7-6/ -13 over by adding 13 to both sides.

34x=55+13

34x=68

Divide both sides by 34 to get x on its own.

x=2

There you have it, the answer is 2
