Answer:
[tex]x=-\frac{5}{7}[/tex]
Step-by-step explanation:
[tex]2(4x+3)=x+1[/tex]
[tex]8x+6=x+1[/tex]
[tex]8x-x=1-6[/tex]
[tex]7x=-5[/tex]
[tex]x=\frac{-5}{7}[/tex]
x = -5/7
2(4x+3)=x+1
Distribute
8x +6 = x+1
Subtract x from each side
8x+6-x = x+1-x
7x+6 = 1
Subtract 6 from each side
7x+6-6 = 1-6
7x =-5
Divide each side by 7
7x/7 = -5/7
