Question

Can someone please help me solve for the equation ?

Answer 1

x= - 0.5

Step-by-step explanation

First, we subtract 14 from both sides of the equation:

`\begin{gathered} 6(7x+9)+14-14=47-14 \\ 6(7x+9)=33 \end{gathered}`

Now, we divide by 6

`\begin{gathered} (6(7x+9))/(6)=(33)/(6) \\ 7x+9=5.5 \end{gathered}`

Subtracting 9 from both sides of the equation, and dividing by 7 we get:

`\begin{gathered} 7x+9-9=5.5-9 \\ 7x=-3.5 \\ (7x)/(7)=-(3.5)/(7) \\ x=-0.5 \end{gathered}`
