To solve for x, we need to simplify the equation first.
Given equation: 9x + 16 = 6x + 1
To simplify, we can start by subtracting 6x from both sides to eliminate the 6x term:
9x - 6x + 16 = 6x - 6x + 1
This simplifies to:
3x + 16 = 1
Next, we can subtract 16 from both sides to isolate the 3x term:
3x + 16 - 16 = 1 - 16
This simplifies to:
3x = -15
Finally, we divide both sides by 3 to solve for x:
(3x)/3 = (-15)/3
This simplifies to:
x = -5
Therefore, the solution is x = -5.
