Question

Solve: negative 1 over 2 x + 1 = −x + 8 7 1 over 2 14 18

Answer 1

The question is an illustration of a linear equation

The solution to the equation $-\frac 12x + 1 = -x+8$ is $x =14$

What are linear equations?

These are equations that have constant rates or slopes

The equation is given as:

$-\frac 12x + 1 = -x+8$

Collect like terms in the above equation

$-\frac 12x + x=8 - 1$

Evaluate the like terms

$\frac 12x=7$

Multiply both sides of the equation by 2

$x =14$

Hence, the value of x is 14
