Answer:

x = -4

Step-by-step explanation:

1=5(x+1)+16

1=(5)(x)+(5)(1)+16 (Distribute)

1=5x+5+16

1=(5x)+(5+16)(Combine Like Terms)

1=5x+21

5x+21=1

5x+21−21=1−21

5x=−20

5x/5=−20/5

x=−4

Answer:

value of x is -4

Step-by-step explanation:

All you need to do is replace f(x) for 1.

1 = 5(x+1) + 16

backwards solve;

1 = 5x+5 +16

1=5x+21

1-21=5x

-20=5x

x=-4

That's all.

If it asks you if x=1, then just plug in 1 where ever x is. f(x) is symbolic of y.
