1. Problem Description

The problem is to solve the equation 7(x+1)+4=6(x7)107(x+1)+4 = -6(x-7)-10 for xx.

2. Solution Steps

First, distribute the constants into the parentheses on both sides of the equation:
7x+7+4=6x+42107x + 7 + 4 = -6x + 42 - 10
Combine like terms on each side:
7x+11=6x+327x + 11 = -6x + 32
Add 6x6x to both sides:
7x+6x+11=6x+6x+327x + 6x + 11 = -6x + 6x + 32
13x+11=3213x + 11 = 32
Subtract 11 from both sides:
13x+1111=321113x + 11 - 11 = 32 - 11
13x=2113x = 21
Divide both sides by 13:
13x13=2113\frac{13x}{13} = \frac{21}{13}
x=2113x = \frac{21}{13}

3. Final Answer

x=2113x = \frac{21}{13}
