If a question like this says "Slove" does it mean that it is looking for the y-intercept?
Solve. 7x - 5 = 6x + 6

It means solve for the variable. In this case the variable is x.
Subtract 6x from each side
x - 5 = 6
Add 5 to each side.
x = 11
The answer can easily be checked by replacing x with 11 in the orignal equation.
7(11) - 5 = 6(11) + 6
77 - 5 = 66 + 6
72 = 72
Therefore, x = 11 is the correct solution.

It means calcurlate the value of X.
7x - 5 = 6x +6
7x - 6x = 6 + 5
x = 11 Answer.

7x-6x = 6+5, so x=11
and "solve" means that you should find out the unknowns of the formula, in this case the x.

No, it is asking for a value of x.
In this case, x = 11. (7x - 6x = 6 + 5 therefore x = 11)
Are you in high school basic algebra class?

It means that you need to solve for the variable present in the problem... so in this case your going to need to solve and find the value of x...
So...
7X -5 = 6X +6
+5 +5
7X = 6X + 11
-6X -6X
X= 11

Get the variables to one side, and the constants to one side.
Subtract 6x from the right side from 7x on the left side, and you'll get just x. Add 5 from the left side to 6 on the right side, and you'll get 11.
x = 11

Solve for x, which = 11 - that will be an x intercept if you're combining two 'y=' equations

I would interpret it as meaning you need to find out what X is. It depends upon where you are in your course whether it means just find X or solve for the Y-intercept
