Answer:
4
Step-by-step explanation:
6x+1 = 5x +5
Subtract like terms, start with the plain numbers from each side. We will do 1 since we will not get a negative answer.
So we have 6x= 5x +4
Then we do the same for x terms. We will subtract 5 to avoid negatives.
So, we have x=4!
You can plug this bag into the answer and see 4 satisfies the equation.
*If this happened to not subtract to 1, we would divide the number in front of the variable by both sides.
