Answer:
x = 5
Step-by-step explanation:
Step 1: Write equation
-(1 + 7x) - 6(-7 - x) = 36
Step 2: Solve for <em>x</em>
- Distribute: -1 - 7x + 42 + 6x = 36
- Combine like terms: -x + 41 = 36
- Subtract 41 on both sides: -x = -5
- Divide both sides: x = 5
Step 3: Check
<em>Plug in x to verify it's a solution.</em>
-(1 + 7(5)) - 6(-7 - 5) = 36
-(1 + 35) - 6(-12) = 36
-(36) + 72 = 36
-36 + 72 = 36
36 = 36
7 is digit for hundred thousands and 6 is for ten thousands so the answer is 800,000
Multiply first equation by -5 and 2nd by 2, add them
15x+20y=-100
<u>2x-20y=32 +</u>
17x+0y=-68
17x=-68
divide both sides by 17
x=-4
the x value is -4
