Answer:

x=-2

Step-by-step explanation:

-9x+1=-x+17

Add 9x on both sides:

1=8x+17

Subtract 17 on both sides:

-16=8x

Divide both sides by 8:

-2=x

Check x=-2!

-9x+1=-x+17 with x=-2

-9(-2)+1=-(-2)+17

18+1=2+17

19=19

19=19 is a true equation so x=-2 is correct.

What is the answer for 65=2(d+1)+5d?

vladimir1956 [14]

$65 = 2(d + 1) + 5d$
$65 = 2d + 2 + 5d$
$65 = 7d + 2$
$63 = 7d$
Finally divide by 7.
$d = 63 \div 7 = 9$
Hence, the answer is d = 9

2 divided by negative 1/5

oksian1 [2.3K]

Answer: 10

you have to find a common denominator between two and five which is 10. therefore making the number 2 into the fraction 20/10 and finding the common denominator of 1/5 makes it now 2/10. now divide 20 by 2 which gets you 10. and dividing 10 by 10 gets you. therefore making the new fraction 10/1 which is equal to 10. :)
