Answer:

The solution is x=6

Step-by-step explanation:

The given equation is 2x+1-14x=-71


We group like terms to obtain;


2x-14x=-71-1


We now simplify to get;


-12x=-72


We divide both sides of the equation by -12 to get;

\frac{-12x}{-12}=\frac{-72}{-12}


We cancel out the common factors to get;


x=\frac{72}{12}


This implies that


x=\frac{12\times 6}{12}


x=6

Solve the equation 2/5x-1=9. Complete each step of the solution and check your solution
Fofino [41]

Answer:

x = 25

Step-by-step explanation:

2/5x - 1 = 9

Add 1 to both sides

2/5x = 10

Multiply by 5 on both sides

2x = 50

Divide by 2 on both sides

x = 25

Check the answer:

Plug in 25 for x

2/5(25) - 1 = 9

10 - 1 = 9

9 = 9

The answer is correct.
