Answer:

x = 0

Explanation:

-6(5x+6) => -6*5x + (-6)*6 => -30x-36

7(x-1) => 7*x + 7*(-1) => 7x -7

Put together:

-30x - 36 + 7x - 7 = -43

=> -23x - 43 = -43 (switch -43 to the other side)

=> -23x = -43 - (-43)

=> -23x = -43 + 43

=> -23x = 0

=> x = 0/-23

=> x = 0

Remember:

Switch side need to chage the number's sign

eg:

x + 1 = 0

=> x = -1

+ + = +

+ - = -

- - = + (important)

- + = -
