Jillian Lawrence · Answer 1

X=4

Step-by-step explanation:

First you add like terms, in this case 5x and x. Then you have 6x-1=23. You then add 1 from both sides so you end up with 6x=24. This then results in X=4

Mikaela Barron · Answer 2

X - 1 + 5x = 23 (original equation)

x + 5x = 24 (add 1 to both sides)

x + x = 4.8 (divide 5 by both sides)

2x = 4.8 (combine the x's)

x = 2.4 (divide 2 by both sides) (answer)
