Answer:

x=1

Step-by-step explanation:

To solve for x, we need to get x alone on one side of the equation.

Add one to each side of the equation.  Subtract 8x from each side of the equation.  Divide both sides by -7.  You should get 1 as the answer.

-1+x=8x-8\\x=8x-7\\-7x=-7\\x=1

Answer:

x = 1

Step-by-step explanation:

First combine like terms from both sides, in this case moving the -8 to the left side and the x to the right side.

You do this by doing the opposite operation for the values.

Add 8 to both sides and cancel out -8.

-1 + x = 8x -8

+8             +8

Subtract x from both sides and cancel out x.

7 + x = 8x

   -x     -x

Then it looks like this.

7 = 7x

Divide by 7 on both sides

x = 1

larisa [96]

Write and solve an equation of ratios, as follows:


15 250

----- = ------- = 10/12.

x 300

Then 15(12) = 10x, and x = 18. The company could well predict that 18 out of the 300 phones it sells in July will be defective, based upon past history.
