In Exercises 1–26, solve and check each linear equation.

7x - 5 = 72

Accepted Answer

So this problem tells us to solve the given linear equation. 48 X plus one equals 97. So I'm gonna rewrite this 1st 48 X plus one equals 97. Now to solve this equation, we want to get X by itself. So if you look here, we have a 48 x plus one. Well the first of that, I want to move that one over Because we can't really divide up 48 until we give up the one. So let's go ahead and move the one over. I'm gonna subtract both sides by 1/1. So on the left side we have a plus one and the negative one. Those are going to cancel each other out. On the right side. We get a 97 -1. Now let me bring down my 48 X. Because we didn't do anything with it. We have 97 -1. Which turned out to be 96. No, You want to get rid of that. 48. So I'm gonna divide of the 48 because it's multiplying by X. Currently I do that On the left side. We have 48/48. Those cancel that leaves us with X. On the right side we have 96/48. That is just too. So the solution to our equation as X equals to mean the answer is the answer. A All right, thank you for watching. Hope to help you solve the problem. Goodbye
