Solve x=-2*-1/7+1

$$x = - 2 \cdot \frac { - 1 } { 7 } + 1$$

Solve for x

$$x = \frac{9}{7} = 1\frac{2}{7} \approx 1.285714286$$

Steps for Solving Linear Equation

Fraction \frac{-1}{7} can be rewritten as -\frac{1}{7} by extracting the negative sign.

$$x=-2\left(-\frac{1}{7}\right)+1$$

Express -2\left(-\frac{1}{7}\right) as a single fraction.

$$x=\frac{-2\left(-1\right)}{7}+1$$

Multiply -2 and -1 to get 2.

$$x=\frac{2}{7}+1$$

Convert 1 to fraction \frac{7}{7}.

$$x=\frac{2}{7}+\frac{7}{7}$$

Since \frac{2}{7} and \frac{7}{7} have the same denominator, add them by adding their numerators.

$$x=\frac{2+7}{7}$$

Add 2 and 7 to get 9.

$$x=\frac{9}{7}$$

Assign x

$$x≔\frac{9}{7}$$
