Solve −9x+1=−71

Answer 1

To solve the equation \(-9x + 1 = -71\), follow these steps:

1. Subtract 1 from both sides of the equation:

   \[ -9x + 1 - 1 = -71 - 1 \]

   This simplifies to:

   \[ -9x = -72 \]

2. Next, divide both sides by -9:

   \[ x = \frac{-72}{-9} \]

   This simplifies to:

   \[ x = 8 \]

So the solution to the equation \(-9x + 1 = -71\) is

\[ \boxed{8} \]
