Answer:
x = -1/2
Step-by-step explanation:
1-3x = x+3
Add 3x to each side
1-3x+3x = x+3x+3
1 = 4x+3
Subtract 3 from each side
1-3 = 4x+3-3
-2 = 4x
Divide each side by 4
-2/4 = 4x/4
-1/2 =x
The reciprocal of 7 is 1/7, reciprocal of 8 is 1/8, and reciprocal of 9 is 1/9
x will represent the first unknow number
6x will represent the second number
the two numbers together will equal 21
6x + x = 21 combine like terms
7x =21 divide both sides by 7
x =3
