Question 303911
Given:  {{{8X + 1 = X + 43}}}
Subtract 1 from both sides
{{{8X = X + 42}}} Subtract X from both sides
{{{7X = 42}}} Sivide both sides by 7
{{{highlight(X = 6)}}}
------------------
Check the answer by plugging 6 into the equation for X
{{{8X + 1 = X + 43}}}
{{{8*(6) + 1 = (6) + 43}}} Simplify
{{{48 + 1 = 49}}}
{{{highlight_green(49 = 49)}}}
