Question

7x plus 5 equal to 3 (x-4) plus 1

Answer 1

Step-by-step explanation:

7x+5=3*x-3*4+1

7x+5=3x-12+1

7x-3x= -12-5+1

10x= (-12)+(-5)+1

10x=(-17)+1

10x=(-16)

x=(-16)/10

x=(-8)/5

Answer 2

Answer:

x = (-4)

Step-by-step explanation:

We are given,

7x + 5 = 3(x - 4) + 1

Using Distributive property,

7x + 5 = 3x - 12 + 1

7x + 5 = 3x - 11

7x - 3x = -11 - 5

4x = -16

x = -16/4

x = -4

Thus,

x = (-4)
