(2/3)x+1=(1/6)x-7
*Isolate the variable by subtracting (1/6)x from both sides*
0.5x+1=-7
*Subtract 1 from both sides*
0.5x=-8
*Divide both sides by 0.5*
A. x=-16
Hope this helps!!
Answer:
A
Step-by-step explanation:
To eliminate the fractions in the equation, multiply all terms by the lowest common multiple of 3 and 6, that is 6
4x + 6 = x - 42 ( subtract x from both sides )
3x + 6 = - 42 ( subtract 6 from both sides )
3x = - 48 ( divide both sides by 3 )
x = - 16
