Question

Solve this equation 5x + 5 = 7x + 1

Answer 1

Answer: 2

Step-by-step explanation:

So here we go,

5x + 5 = 7x + 1

5 - 1 = 7x - 5x

4 = 2x

2 = x

Answer 2

Answer:

2

Step-by-step explanation:

According to the given question,

• 5x+5 = 7x+1

• It's a linear equation, and it gives only the value of x.

• Thus, if putting the value on a graph it will give us a straight line.

Now,

• 5x+5 = 7x+1

• 5x-7x = -5+1

• -2x = -4

Negative sign on both sides get cancelled out and we get,

• 2x = 4

• x = 4/2

• x = 2

Thus given equation gives us the value of x which is equal to 2.
