Answer:
x = -16
Step-by-step explanation:
2/3x +1 = 1/6x - 7
Multiply each side by 6 to get rid of the fractions
6(2/3x +1) = 6(1/6x - 7)
4x +6 = x - 42
Subtract x from each side
4x-x +6 = x-x-42
3x +6 = -42
Subtract 6 from each side
3x +6-6 = -42-6
3x = -48
Divide each side by 3
3x/3 = -48/3
x = -16
