Hey!
Let's solve this together.
5x+1 = 1+x2
Possible Answers: {5,4,3,2}
Lets start with 5.
5(5)+1 = 1+2(5)***
25+1 = 1+10
26 ≠ 11
So, 5 is NOT the answer.
Now, 4.
5(4)+1 = 1+(4)2
20+1 = 1+8
21 ≠ 9
So, 4 is NOT the answer.
Now, 3.
5(3)+1 = 1+(3)2
15+1 = 1+6
16 ≠ 7
So, 3 is NOT the answer.
Lastly, 2.
5(2)+1 = 1+(2)2
10+1 = 1+4
11 ≠ 5
So, 2 is NOT an answer.
So, the answer is: None of the above. None of them can be answers because none of them make the statement true.
***(In algebra, we start using parenthesis instead of the dot for multiplication when using numbers.)
Hope this helps!

the answer is 24 because it is in the middle and mode is the most center number in the line. if there are 2 in the middle, you add them together then divide by 2 ie: (1+7)/2
The answer for this is a=3
4x2=8 8+-12=-4 gt=-4 they are equal. Is that what you mean?
