Bot GPT 3.5 To solve for x, we need to isolate x on one side of the equation.
First, let's subtract 6x from both sides of the equation:
9x + 16 - 6x = 6x + 1 - 6x
3x + 16 = 1
Next, subtract 16 from both sides of the equation to isolate x:
3x + 16 - 16 = 1 - 16
3x = -15
Finally, divide both sides by 3 to solve for x:
3x/3 = -15/3
x = -5
Therefore, the solution to the equation 9x + 16 = 6x + 1 is x = -5.
