8x + 49 = 1

Answer 1

To solve the equation, we need to isolate the variable x.

Starting with the equation:
8x + 49 = 1

Let's start by subtracting 49 from both sides of the equation:
8x + 49 - 49 = 1 - 49
8x = -48

Now, we can divide both sides of the equation by 8 to solve for x:
8x/8 = -48/8
x = -6

Therefore, the solution to the equation is x = -6.
