Answer:
x=2
Step-by-step explanation:
4x + 1 = 7x - 5
subtract 4x from each side
4x-4x + 1 = 7x-4x - 5
1 = 3x-5
Add 5 to each side
1+5 = 3x-5+5
6 =3x
Divide by 3
6/3 =3x/3
2 =x
The answer would be x=2.
Step 1: (Multiply)
4 x 2 = 8.
Step 2: (Add)
8 + 1 = 9.
Step 3: (Multiply 2nd problem)
7 x 2 = 14.
Step 4: (Subtract)
14 - 5 = 9.
