Answer: x=4

Explanation: 6x+1+x+7=36

Step 1: Simplify both sides of the equation.

6x+1+x+7=36

(6x+x)+(1+7)=36(Combine Like Terms)

7x+8=36

7x+8=36

Step 2: Subtract 8 from both sides.

7x+8−8=36−8

7x=28

Step 3: Divide both sides by 7.

7x

7

=

Answer:X=4

Explanation:first combine the like terms (6x+1x) = 7x+1+7=36 (1+7) = 7x+8=36 after you get your new equation subtract 8 from both sides making the new equation 7x = 28 once we get that you will want to divide 7 from both sides getting 4. X = 4.
