Question

-2x+1=7 how do I do this?

Answer 1

Answer:

-3

Step-by-step explanation:

Write the equation down, the first step is to minus the one from both sides of the equal sign(since it’s the opposite then adding) so you cancel out the 1 and do 7-1 your equation would look like this : -2x=6 the next step is to divide the -2 (it’s the opposite of multiplication) your answer would be x=-3

Answer 2

Answer: x=-3

Step-by-step explanation: -2x+1=7

-2x=7-1

-2x=6

-2x/-2=6/-2

X=-3
