Question

Solve the equation.|8x + 4 = 1Select one:O A. 1531OО В. .O C.88D. (-31)O D.

Answer 1

We are given the following:

`18x+4=1`

To solve the equation we will first subtract 4 from both sides:

`\begin{gathered} 18x+4-4=1-4 \\ 18x=-3 \end{gathered}`

Now, we divide both sides by 18:

`x=-(3)/(18)`

Now, we simplify the expression by dividing the numerator and denominator by 3:

`x=-(1)/(6)`

Therefore, the value of "x" is -1/6.
