Question

Solve:

`7x + 1 = 50`
​

Answer 1

7x= 49
Divide each side on 7
X=7

Answer 2

Start of by writing 7x+1=50. Subtract 1 from both sides. You will get 50-1=49. Then you have 7x=49. Divide 7 on both sides. 7x/7. 49/7=7. X=7. Therefore x=7. Check your answer by plugging 7 into x. 7(7)=49+1=50. The answer checks out!
