Answer
$x=4$
Work Step by Step
$7x-41=-13$
First we move the -41 to the other side of the equation to isolate the "x" on one side. Moving the -41 will cause it to become negative.
$7x=41-13$
$7x=28$
Then we will divide the equation by 7 so we could get the value of the single "x"
$7x=28 /:7$
$\frac{7}{7}x=\frac{28}{7}$
$x=4$
we can also check if our result is correct by substituting our "x" in the original equation...
$7\times4-41=-13$
$28=41-13$
$28=28$
