Given the equation:
7x + 1 and 1x + 7
Determine if they are equal
Solution:
No the given values are not equal, since the values of x vary from 1 and 7, whereas the constant is also not equal because we have 1 and 7. Hence, we can equate the two equations in a solution whereas we solve for x, to determine which part are they equal.
7x + 1 = 1x = 7
7x - 1x = 7 - 1
6x = 6
6x/6 = 6/6
x =1
Final answer:
x =1
