Can you help me with these algebra problem?

Question

1: 7 times x plus 1 eqauls -55
2: 7 plus 3/5 times x equals 32/5

Answer 1

No sweetie, that's cheating. You won't have Yahoo Answers there with you when you take your test now will you?

Answer 2

I'll help...

1)
7x + 1 = -55 <-subtract 1 from each side
7x = -56 <- divide each side by 7
x=-8

2)
7+3/5 x = 32/5 3/5 x = -3/5 x = -1

Answer 3

1: 7x+1=-55
First of all, do BEDMAS. Remember that?
So to get rid of the 1, we subtract it from BOTH sides.
Because whatever you do to one side you do it to the other.
7x+1(-1)=-55(-1)
So collect like terms.
7x=-56
Then next step, to get rid of the 7, what do we do?
Divide it from both sides!
7x/7=-56/7
x=-8
Now let's try number 2!
2: 7+3/5x=32/5
BEDMAS backwards so we subtract 7 from both sides. And remember, if it doesn't have a fraction, the bottom number is always 1!
7-7+3/5x=32/5-7/1
3/5x=25/5
Then we divide both sides by 3/5 (or multiiply 5/3) To get x by itself so:
3/5x / 3/5=25/5 / 3/5
Then
x= -15/15
x= -1

Answer 4

1.
7x + 1 = -55
you make that equation ^^^
then you want the x on one side of the = and the whole numbers on the other side
you subtract one to make 7x + 0 = -55 - 1
-55 - 1= -55 + -1= -56
7x= -56
divide both sides by seven to get x by itself which makes
x= -8

2.
3/5x + 7 =32/5
you make that equation ^^^
then you want the x on one side of the = and the whole numbers on the other side
you subtract seven to make 3/5x + 0 = 32/5 - 35/5 (7/1)
then divide both sides by 3/5 (or multiiply 5/3)
to get x by itself which makes
x= - 15/15
x= -1

Answer 5

1)
Steps: 7x+1= - 55
7x= - 56

Answer: x= - 8

2)
Steps: 7+3/5x=32/5

3/5x = - 3/5

Answer:x= -1.

Answer 6

7x+1=-55
7x= -55-1
7x=-56
x=-56/7
x= - 8

7+3/5x=32/5
3/5x=32/5-7
3/5x=-.6
x=-.6/3/5/1
x= .6/15
x= - 1/25

Answer 7

7x+1=-55
7x+1 (-1)=-55(-1)
7x=-56
7x/7=-56/7
x= -8

Answer 8

7x+1=-55
7x=-56
x=-8

7+(3/5)x=32/5
35+3x=32
3x=-3
x=-1
