Choose the answer.
The sum of 1 and 7 times a number is 64. Write and solve an equation to determine the number. Select the solution and graph that represents the number.
Question 1 options:
x = 4
Number line graph of x equals 4.
x = 6
Number line graph of x equals 6.
x = 7
Number line graph of x equals 7.
x = 9
Number line graph of x equals 9.
To solve this problem, we can set up the equation 1 + 7x = 64, where x is the number. Solving for x:
1 + 7x = 64
7x = 63
x = 9
Therefore, the number is 9. The solution is x = 9 and the corresponding graph is the number line graph of x equals 9.
