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.

Find the difference. (12m + 1) - (5m - 4)

Law Incorporation [45]

Answer:

7m + 5

Step-by-step explanation:

1) Simplify.

(12m + 1) - 1 (5m - 4) -> (12m + 1) - 5m + 4

2) Eliminate unnecessary parenthesis.

(12m + 1) - 5m + 4 -> 12m + 1 - 5m + 4.

3) Combine like terms.

12m - 5m = 7m, 4 + 1 =5 -> 7m + 5

The solution is 7m + 5
