9x+1=-x+17
subtract the x from both sides of the equation:
8x+1=17
subtract the 1:
8x=16
divide by 8 to solve for x:
x=2
i'm showing all the work
Let's solve your equation step-by-step.
9x+1=−x+17
Step 1: Add x to both sides.

9x+1+x=−x+17+x10x+1=17Step 2: Subtract 1 from both sides.

10x+1−1=17−110x=16Step 3: Divide both sides by 10.
[tex] \frac{10x}{10y} = \frac{16}{10} [/tex]

answer is x=[tex] \frac{8}{5} [/tex]
