1. **State the problem:** Determine if 7 is a solution to the equation $$7x = 56 - x$$.
2. **Substitute the value:** Replace $$x$$ with 7 in the equation:
$$7(7) = 56 - 7$$
3. **Calculate both sides:**
Left side: $$7 \times 7 = 49$$
Right side: $$56 - 7 = 49$$
4. **Compare both sides:** Since $$49 = 49$$, the equation holds true when $$x = 7$$.
5. **Conclusion:** Yes, 7 is a solution to the equation $$7x = 56 - x$$.
