Solve for x
8x+1=-71

x = -9.

Step-by-step explanation:

8x + 1 = -71    Subtract 1 from both sides:

8x + 1 - 1 = -71 - 1

8x = -72

x = -72/8

x = -9.

the answer would be 1 1/72

step-by-step explanation:

you can rewrite the equation by separating the parts and then solving individually:

10-9=1

1/8 - 1/9=

find l c d and then combine:

1 1/72
