To solve the equation \(-7x + 14 = 56\) for \(x\), follow these steps in order:
1. **Isolate the term containing \(x\)**: Subtract 14 from both sides.
\[
-7x + 14 - 14 = 56 - 14
\]
Simplified:
\[
-7x = 42
\]
2. **Solve for \(x\)**: Divide both sides by -7.
\[
\frac{-7x}{-7} = \frac{42}{-7}
\]
Simplified:
\[
x = -6
\]
Your final solution for \(x\) is:
\[
x = -6
\]
Drag the correct steps into order to solve the equation -7x + 14 = 56 for x.
