Expand it out to x-15x +6 = 104. Then -14x=98 and x=-7 (answer a)

A is the right answers
first you need to get rid of the brackets
x-15x +6=104
-14x=104-6
-14x=98
14x/-14=98/-14
x=-7

x - 15x + 6 = 104
-14x = 104 - 6
-14x = 98
x = -98 / 14 = -7

a
x - (15x - 6) = 104
x - 15x + 6 = 104
-14x + 6 = 104
-14x = 98
x = -7

x-(15x-6)=104
x-15x - (-6)=104
-14x + 6 = 104
-14x = 98
x = -7
check your work:
-7 - (15(-7)-6) = 104
-7-(-105-6)=104
-7-(-111)=104
104=104
check.

x-(15x-6)=104
x = 104 + (15x -6)
x = 104 +15x -6
x - 15x = 104 - 6
-14x = 98
x = - 98/14
x = 7
