6x-1=17

Answer 5

to solve multi-step equations you first undo addition or subtraction first then multiplication or division--order of operation backwards ; )

Answer 6

so to undo -1 you add one to both sides to keep equation balanced
6x=18

Answer 7

to undo 6 times x, divide both sides by 6 and get
x=3

sub in 3 for x to check
6(3)-1=17
18-1=17
17=17
