7x - 1 + 49x = 343

If this is what you are implying, then:

Simplify:

56x - 1 = 343

Add 1:

56x = 344

Divide by 56:

x = 344/56 = 43/7 = 6.(142857) repeating at period 6.

However, if you meant:

7(x - 1) + 49x = 343

Then divide by 7:

x - 1 + 7x = 49

Add 1:

8x = 50

Divide by 8:

x = 50/8 = 25/4 = 6.25.
