Question

question 11 of 60
1 + 7x = 8x
select the correct response:
true
false

Explanation:

Step1: Solve the equation \(1 + 7x = 8x\)

Subtract \(7x\) from both sides of the equation: \(1 + 7x - 7x = 8x - 7x\)
Simplify both sides: \(1 = x\)

Step2: Check if the equation holds for all \(x\)

The equation \(1 + 7x = 8x\) is only true when \(x = 1\), not for all values of \(x\) (which is implied by the "True" option, as it would mean the equation is an identity). So the statement that \(1 + 7x = 8x\) (as a general equation) is False.

Answer:

False
