$x = -7$

$6x + 14 = -77 - 7x$

To solve for the variable $x$ , we have to make it by itself.

First, add $color(blue)(7x)$ to both sides of the equation:
$6x + 14 quadcolor(blue)(+quad7x) = -77 - 7x quadcolor(blue)(+quad7x)$

$13x + 14 = -77$

Now subtract $color(blue)14$ from both sides:
$13x + 14 quadcolor(blue)(-quad14) = -77 quadcolor(blue)(-quad14)$

$13x = -91$

Therefore,
$x = -7$

Hope this helps!
