Question

Solve the equation.

–9x + 1 = –x + 17

x = –8
x = –2
x = 2
x = 8

Answer 1

Isolate the variable by dividing each side by factors that don't contain the variable. x=−2

Answer 2

Welcome to QuestionCove, jbell.

Given\[−9x+1=−x+17\]Add x to both sides\[−9x+1+x=−x+17+x\]\[−8x+1=17\]Subtract both sides by 1\[−8x+1−1=17−1\]\[−8x=16\]Divide -8 from both sides\[\frac{ -8x }{ -8 }=\frac{ 16 }{ 8 }\]\[x=−2\]Therefore \[x=−2\]

Answer 3

Step 1: Add x to both sides.
−9x+1+x=−x+17+x
−8x+1=17
Step 2: Subtract 1 from both sides.
−8x+1−1=17−1
−8x=16
Step 3: Divide both sides by -8.
−8x
−8
=
16
−8
x=−2
