remember you can do anyting to an equation as long as ou do it to both sides
-6x+4=-50
minus 4 both sides
-6x=-54
divide both sides by -6
x=9
5x+6=-44
minus 6 both sides
5x=-50
divide both sides by 5
x=-10
-3(7+6x)=-201
normally you would distribute (that works) but it's easier to divide both sides by -3
7+6x=67
minus 7 both sides
6x=60
divide by 6 both sides
x=10
