Hey there!☺
[tex]Answer:\boxed{x=2}[/tex]
[tex]Explanation:[/tex]
[tex]5x-1=7+x[/tex]
Let's start with simplifying both sides:
[tex]5x+-1=7+x\\5x-1=x+7[/tex]
Now we have to subtract x from both sides:
[tex]5x-1-x=x+7-x\\4x-1=7[/tex]
Now add 1 to both sides:
[tex]4x-1+1=7+1\\4x=8[/tex]
In our fourth step, we have to divide both sides by 4:
[tex]\frac{4x}{4}=\frac{8}{4}[/tex]
Now we need to simplify 8/4:
[tex]\frac{8}{4}=2[/tex]
Now we got our answer!
[tex]x=2[/tex]
Hope this helps!☺
