Answer:

x= .44444444

Explanation:

first distribute

7(6x+1) = 3(9-x)

42x + 7= 27 - 3x

subtract 7 from both sides

42x= 20 - 3x

add 3x to each side

45x=20

x=.44444444

Answer:

x = 4/9

Explanation:

7(6x + 1) = 3(9 - x)

First, distribute the 7 and the 3 across the parentheses.

42x + 7 = 27 - 3x

Now, combine the variables. (Add 3x)

45x + 7 = 27

Now, combine the constants. (Subtract 7)

45x = 20

Now, isolate the x. (Divide by 45)

x = 20/45

Simplify.

x = 4/9
