Solve 49x+6=60(x+1)

$$49 x + 6 = 60 ( x + 1 )$$

Solve for x

$$x = -\frac{54}{11} = -4\frac{10}{11} \approx -4.909090909$$

Steps for Solving Linear Equation

Use the distributive property to multiply 60 by x+1.

$$49x+6=60x+60$$

Subtract 60x from both sides.

$$49x+6-60x=60$$

Combine 49x and -60x to get -11x.

$$-11x+6=60$$

Subtract 6 from both sides.

$$-11x=60-6$$

Subtract 6 from 60 to get 54.

$$-11x=54$$

Divide both sides by -11.

$$x=\frac{54}{-11}$$

Fraction \frac{54}{-11} can be rewritten as -\frac{54}{11} by extracting the negative sign.

$$x=-\frac{54}{11}$$
