Question

can someone please help me solve for the equation ?

Answer 1

Answer:

x= - 0.5

Explanation

First, we subtract 14 from both sides of the equation:

$\begin{gathered} 6(7x+9)+14-14=47-14 \\ 6(7x+9)=33 \end{gathered}$

Now, we divide by 6

$\begin{gathered} \frac{6(7x+9)}{6}=\frac{33}{6} \\ 7x+9=5.5 \end{gathered}$

Subtracting 9 from both sides of the equation, and dividing by 7 we get:

$\begin{gathered} 7x+9-9=5.5-9 \\ 7x=-3.5 \\ \frac{7x}{7}=-\frac{3.5}{7} \\ x=-0.5 \end{gathered}$
