Question

6. What is the solution to the equation 2/3x + 1 = 1/6x - 7? *

X = -16
x = -4
x = 4
X = 16

Answer 1

Explanation:

`(2)/(3) x + 1 = (1)/(6)x - 7 \\ (4)/(6) x - (1)/(6) x = - 7 - 1 \\ (3)/(6) x = - 8 \\ (1)/(2) x = - 8 \\ \boxed{ x = - 16}`

-16 is the right answer.

Answer 2

x=-16

Explanation:

2/3x+1=1/6x-7.

Subtract 1/6x.

1/2x+1=-7

subtract 1.

1/2x=-8

divide by 1/2.

x=-16.
