To solve for x, we need to isolate x on one side of the equation. We can do this by subtracting 6x from both sides:
9x + 16 - 6x = 6x + 1 - 6x
Simplifying:
3x + 16 = 1
Next, we can subtract 16 from both sides:
3x + 16 - 16 = 1 - 16
Simplifying:
3x = -15
Finally, we can divide both sides by 3:
(3x)/3 = (-15)/3
Simplifying:
x = -5
Therefore, the solution to the equation is x = -5.
Solve for x: 9x+16=6x+1
