Find the value of xxx if A=1x+42A=1x+42A=1x+42 and B=7xB=7xB=7x .



x=x=x=

Answer 1

To solve for \( x \) given the equations \( A = 1x + 42 \) and \( B = 7x \), we can set \( A \) equal to \( B \) since the problem implies a relationship between them.

1. Set the equations equal to each other:
\[
1x + 42 = 7x
\]

2. Rearrange the equation to isolate \( x \):
\[
42 = 7x - 1x
\]
\[
42 = 6x
\]

3. Solve for \( x \):
\[
x = \frac{42}{6} = 7
\]

Therefore, the value of \( x \) is \( \boxed{7} \).
