Answer 1

None of these are correct if you typed the problem right. The correct answer would be x=1 over 16

Answer 2

Option c - x=14

Explanation:

Given : Expression
`-(1)/(2)x+1=-x+8`

To find : Solve the expression ?

Solution :

Step 1 - Write the expression,

`-(1)/(2)x+1=-x+8`

Step 2 - Take like terms together,

`-(1)/(2)x+x=8-1`

Step 3 - Solve the addition,

`(-x+2x)/(2)=7`

`(x)/(2)=7`

`x=7* 2`

`x=14`

Therefore, Option c is correct.
