Kade Dickson · Answer 1

So 2+6x=1-x

we can do anything as long as we do it to both sides

2+6x=1-x

try to get the unknown (x) on one side by itself

add x to both sides to get rid of the x on the right

2+x+6x=1+x-x

2+7x=1

subtract 2 from both sdies

7x=-1

divide by 7

x=-1/7

Jaylyn Hubbard · Answer 2

2 + 6x = 1 - x

+ 6x + x = 1 - 2

7x = - 1

x = - 1

7

Solution: - 1/7
