Question

for the following relational verify your answer 5x - 2 X + 7 = x + 1

Answer 1

Answer:

The value of x is -3.

Step-by-step explanation:

The given equation is

$5x-2x+7=x+1$

$3x+7=x+1$

Subtract x from both sides.

$3x+7-x=x+1-x$

$2x+7=1$

Subtract 7 from both sides.

$2x+7-7=1-7$

$2x=-6$

Divide both sides by 2.

$x=-3$

Therefore the value of x is -3.

To verify the answer, put this value in given equation.

$5(-3)-2(-3)+7=-3+1$

$-15+6+7=-2$

$-2=-2$

Since left hand side is equal to right hand side, therefore answer verified.
