Question

What is the solution to this equation 2/3x+1=1/6×-7

Answer 1

Answer:

A . x= -16

Step-by-step explanation:

$\\\frac{2}{3}x+1=\frac{1}{6}x-7\\\\\mathrm{Subtract\:}1\mathrm{\:from\:both\:sides}\\\\\frac{2}{3}x+1-1=\frac{1}{6}x-7-1\\\\\frac{2}{3}x=\frac{1}{6}x-8\\\\\mathrm{Subtract\:}\frac{1}{6}x\mathrm{\:from\:both\:sides}\\\\\frac{2}{3}x-\frac{1}{6}x=\frac{1}{6}x-8-\frac{1}{6}x\\\\= \frac{1}{2}x=-8\\\\\mathrm{Multiply\:both\:sides\:by\:2}\\\\2\times \frac{1}{2}x=2\left(-8\right)\\\\x=-16$
