Solve the equation, check your answer 15=7x+1-5x

15=7x+1-5x

Put like terms together. ( group anything alike)

15+1=16

7x-5x=2x

16 2x
—- ——-
2x 2x

2x/2x cancels itself out.

16 divided by 2 is 8

x=8

I hope this helped!

When rates are expressed as a quantity of 1, such as 2 feet per second or 5 miles per hour, they are called unit rates. if you have a multiple-unit rate such as 120 students for every 3 buses, and want to find the single-unit rate, write a ratio equal to the multiple-unit rate with 1 as the second term.
