What is the solution to the equation Two-thirds x + 1 = one-sixth x minus 7? x = negative 16 x = negative 4 x = 4 x = 16

x = -16

Step-by-step explanation:

Step 1: Write out equation

2/3x + 1 = 1/6x - 7

Step 2: Subtract 1/6x on both sides

1/2x + 1 = -7

Step 3: Subtract 1 on both sides

1/2x = -8

Step 4: Multiply 2 on both sides

x = -16

6.9

step-by-step explanation:

simple math really

6 1/2 times 0.6 = 3.9

but if you are just doing 6 and not 6 1/2 then the answer is 3.6
