Answer:
x = 4/5.
Step-by-step explanation:
7x - 1 = 2x + 3
Move one to the other side.
7x = 2x + 4
Subtract the 2x to the other side
5x = 4
Divide both sides by 5
x = 4/5.
Answer:
x = 0.8
Step-by-step explanation:
To find x, we need to isolate the constants on one side and the variables on the other. Simply subtract 2x both sides and add 1 both sides.
⇒ [tex]7x - 1= 2x + 3[/tex]
⇒ [tex]7x - 1 - 2x + 1 = 2x + 3 + 1 - 2x[/tex]
⇒ [tex]5x = 2x + 3 + 1 - 2x[/tex]
⇒ [tex]5x = 3 + 1[/tex]
Now, simplify the RHS.
⇒ [tex]5x = 3 + 1[/tex]
⇒ [tex]5x = 4[/tex]
Finally, divide 5 both sides to isolate the x variable.
⇒ [tex]\frac{5x}{5} = \frac{4}{5}[/tex]
⇒ [tex]x = \frac{4}{5} = 0.8[/tex]
