Studdy Solution

STEP 1

Assumptions1. The given equation is 7(x1)=x+5+9x7(x-1)=- x+5+9 x . We are to solve for xx

STEP 2

First, we need to distribute the 77 on the left side of the equation.
7(x1)=7x77(x-1) =7x -7

STEP 3

Now, we substitute 7x77x -7 back into the equation.
7x7=2x+5+9x7x -7 = -2x +5 +9x

STEP 4

Next, we simplify the right side of the equation by combining like terms.
7x7=7x+7x -7 =7x +

STEP 5

Now, we subtract 7x7x from both sides of the equation to isolate xx on one side.
7=5-7 =5

STEP 6

This equation is not possible, so there is no solution for xx.
