Solve for x : 9x+16=6x+1 .(1 point) please

1 answer

To solve the equation \( 9x + 16 = 6x + 1 \), follow these steps:

  1. Subtract \( 6x \) from both sides: \[ 9x - 6x + 16 = 1 \] which simplifies to: \[ 3x + 16 = 1 \]

  2. Subtract 16 from both sides: \[ 3x = 1 - 16 \] which simplifies to: \[ 3x = -15 \]

  3. Divide both sides by 3: \[ x = \frac{-15}{3} \] which simplifies to: \[ x = -5 \]

Thus, the solution is: \[ \boxed{-5} \]
