Question

−4x+1=
\,\,-9x+16
−9x+16

Answer 1

x=31/14

Explanation:

Step 1: Simplify both sides of the equation.

−4x+1=−9x−16+9x+16

−4x+1=−9x+−16+9x+16

−4x+1=(−9x+9x)+(−16+16)(Combine Like Terms)

−4x+1=0

−4x+1=0

Step 2: Subtract 1 from both sides.

−4x+1−1=0−1

−4x=−1

Step 3: Divide both sides by -4.

−4x−4=−1/-4

x=1/4
