Step-by-step explanation: Solving an equation means finding the value of the variable that makes the equation true.

Let's look at an example.

Solve the following equation.

3x + 1 = 7

To solve the equation, we need to get <em>x</em> by itself on one side and we do that by subtracting 1 from both sides to get 3x = 6. Now just divide both sides of the equation by 2 and we find that <em>x = +2</em>.

Thus, the solution to the equation is x = +2.

So the value of the variable is +2.

spin [16.1K]

Answer:

D: 6 5/6

Step-by-step explanation:

Solve for a:

a + 7/6 = 8

Put each term in a + 7/6 over the common denominator 6: a + 7/6 = (6 a)/6 + 7/6:

(6 a)/6 + 7/6 = 8

(6 a)/6 + 7/6 = (6 a + 7)/6:

(6 a + 7)/6 = 8

Multiply both sides of (6 a + 7)/6 = 8 by 6:

(6 (6 a + 7))/6 = 6×8

(6 (6 a + 7))/6 = 6/6×(6 a + 7) = 6 a + 7:

6 a + 7 = 6×8

6×8 = 48:

6 a + 7 = 48

Subtract 7 from both sides:

6 a + (7 - 7) = 48 - 7

7 - 7 = 0:

6 a = 48 - 7

48 - 7 = 41:

6 a = 41

Divide both sides of 6 a = 41 by 6:

(6 a)/6 = 41/6

6/6 = 1:

Answer:  a = 41/6 or a= 6 5/6
