Question

How do i check 160 = 7x + 6
i found the answer (x = 22) i just need help with the check part!

Answer 1

Given:

`7x+6=160`.

Lets start by moving 6 over to the other side. We can do this by subtracting 6 from both sides of the equation.

`7x+6-6=160-6`

`7x=154`

Now, let's isolate x by getting rid of the 7. The 7 is being multiplied with x, so to get rid of it we have to divide both sides by 7.

`7x/7 = 154/7`

`\bold{x=22}`

Answer 2

Just substitute 22 into the equation for x.

160 = 7(22)+6

160= 154 +6

160=160

So your answer is correct!
