Subtract x from both sides:
(3x - x) + 7 = (x - x) - 1

3x - x = 2x:
2x + 7 = (x - x) - 1

x - x = 0:
2x + 7 = -1

Subtract 7 from both sides:
2x + (7 - 7) = -7 - 1

7 - 7 = 0:
2x = -7 - 1

-7 - 1 = -8:
2x = -8

Divide both sides by 2:
2x / 2 = -8 / 2

2 / 2 = 1:
x = -8 / 2

The gcd (greatest common denominator) of 8 and 2 is 2:
-8 / 2 = 2(-4) / 2x1 = 2/2 x - 4 = -4

x = -4

Write the equation whose roots are 6 and 1, and whose leading coefficient is 4.
Black_prince [1.1K]

Answer:

4(x-6)(x-1) = 0

Standard form: 4x^2-28x+24=0

Step-by-step explanation:

First, let's write an equation where the roots are 6 and 1.

To do that, we can use the intercept form <em>a(x-p)(x-q) = 0</em>, where <em>a</em> is the leading coefficient, and <em>p </em>and <em>q</em> are the roots.

We can therefore plug what we know into this equation:

4(x-6)(x-1) = 0
