Let's solve each equation step by step.
Equation 1: \( 4(x - 6) = 5 \)
Distribute the 4: \[ 4x - 24 = 5 \]
Add 24 to both sides: \[ 4x = 29 \]
Divide by 4: \[ x = \frac{29}{4} \]
Equation 2: \( x + \frac{x}{11} = \frac{24}{11} \)
To combine \(x\) and \(\frac{x}{11}\), convert \(x\) into a fraction: \[ x = \frac{11x}{11} \] So, the equation becomes: \[ \frac{11x}{11} + \frac{x}{11} = \frac{24}{11} \]
Combine the fractions: \[ \frac{11x + x}{11} = \frac{24}{11} \] \[ \frac{12x}{11} = \frac{24}{11} \]
Multiply both sides by 11 to eliminate the denominator: \[ 12x = 24 \]
Divide by 12: \[ x = 2 \]
Equation 3: \( \frac{7}{x} + 8 = -1 \)
Subtract 8 from both sides: \[ \frac{7}{x} = -1 - 8 \] \[ \frac{7}{x} = -9 \]
Cross-multiply to solve for \(x\): \[ 7 = -9x \]
Divide by -9: \[ x = -\frac{7}{9} \]
Summary of Solutions:
- \( x = \frac{29}{4} \) for the first equation.
- \( x = 2 \) for the second equation.
- \( x = -\frac{7}{9} \) for the third equation.
