Answer:

x = -10

Step-by-step explanation:

-x + 1 = x + 21

(given)

__________

-x + 1 = x + 21

+x +x

(addition property of equality)

(add the x term on both sides to cancel out -x)

__________

1 = 2x + 21

-21 -21

(subtraction property of equality)

(subtract by 21 on both sides to get rid of the constant term on the x side)

________

-20 = 2x

÷2 ÷2

(division property of equality)

(divide to get rid of the coefficient of 2 in the x term)

_______

-10 = x

(symmetric property of equality)

(switch both sides so that x is on the left)

_______

x = -10

________________________________

Proof by substitution:

x = -10 because

x = -10 → -x + 1 = x + 21 → -(x) + 1 = (x) + 21 → -(-10) + 1 = (-10) + 21 → 10 + 1 = 21 - 10 →

How to draw a drawing graph?
Lapatulllka [165]
Make a horizontal line on the paper. You may draw arrows on the ends of the line to indicate it is a number line that continues past your data sample. Put the label "X" to the right of the line to indicate the x axis. Mark the center of the line with a vertical tick mark and label it 0. This is the origin of the graph. Make equally spaced tick marks on the rest of the x axis. For this example you should label the tick marks from 1 to 10 on the right side of the 0.
