Question

1. -8(1+4x)+7x=-25-8x
2. -5+6(x-7)=-40+5x
Could you show the work?

Answer 1

Answer:

1. x=1

2. x=7

Step-by-step explanation:

1. -8(1+4x)+7x=-25-8x

-8-32x+7x=-25-8x

8x-32x+7x=-25+8

-17x=-25+8

-17x=-17

$\frac{-17x}{-17} =\frac{-17}{-17} \\x=1$

2. -5+6(x-7)=-40+5x

-5+6x-42=-40+5x

-47+6x=-40+5x

x=47-40

x=7
