No not the smaller number

Answer 13

Its in tha right side u get rid of tht number

Answer 14

Honestly, you could get rid of either one because if x isn't given to = anything then it automatically = 1. So 7x and 6x always stay the same, right?

Yeah ur right i didnt think of tht ur smarter😂😁😁

Answer 16

I hate math but I thought it was general knowledge. x = 1 whenever x isn't given in the equation you're working on

Answer 17

It doesn’t *really* matter as long as you perform the same operation on each side

However, with experience you’ll learn when it’s advantageous to eliminate from the right vs left

In your case, if you subtract 7x from both sides you’ll end up with -x on the right side

If you subtract 6x from both sides you’ll end up with positive x on the left side

Neither of these are “wrong” but most experienced problem solvers would avoid negative signs when possible
