Solve x+2(-1/7)=1

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

Solve for x

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

Steps for Solving Linear Equation

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.

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

Fraction \frac{-2}{7} can be rewritten as -\frac{2}{7} by extracting the negative sign.

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

Add \frac{2}{7} to both sides.

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

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

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

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

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

Add 7 and 2 to get 9.

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