Solve each linear equation. See Examples 1–3. 7x + 8 = 1

Guida verificata passo dopo passo
1
Identify the given linear equation: \(7x + 8 = 1\).
Isolate the term containing \(x\) by subtracting 8 from both sides: \(7x + 8 - 8 = 1 - 8\) which simplifies to \(7x = 1 - 8\).
Simplify the right side of the equation: \(7x = -7\).
Solve for \(x\) by dividing both sides by 7: \(x = \frac{-7}{7}\).
Simplify the fraction to find the value of \(x\).
