Question

What's the ans?

`\bf 6(x+4)+1=x+5`

Answer 1

x = -4

Explanation:

6 (x + 4) + 1 = x + 5

6x + 24 + 1 = x + 5 (distributive property)

6x + 25 = x + 5

6x + 25 - x = 5

5x + 25 = 5

5x = 5 - 25

5x = -20

x = -20/5

x = -4

Hope it helps ⚜

Answer 2

Answer: x = -4

Explanation:

`6\left(x+4\right)+1=x+5`

`$$Expand the parentheses`

`6x+25=x+5`

`\mathrm{Subtract\:}25\mathrm{\:from\:both\:sides}`

`6x+25-25=x+5-25`

`$$Simplify`

`6x=x-20`

`\mathrm{Subtract\:}x\mathrm{\:from\:both\:sides}`

`6x-x=x-20-x`

`$$Simplify`

`5x=-20`

`\mathrm{Divide\:both\:sides\:by\:}5`

`(5x)/(5)=(-20)/(5)`

`$$Simplify`

`x=-4`
