Answer :

To find the value of [tex]\( x \)[/tex], we need to set the given expressions equal to each other and solve for [tex]\( x \)[/tex]. The expressions are [tex]\( 6x - 1 \)[/tex] and [tex]\( 8x - 43 \)[/tex].

Let's set them equal to each other:

[tex]\[ 6x - 1 = 8x - 43 \][/tex]

Now, we want to solve for [tex]\( x \)[/tex]. To do this, follow these steps:

1. Move all terms involving [tex]\( x \)[/tex] to one side by subtracting [tex]\( 6x \)[/tex] from both sides:

[tex]\[ 6x - 1 - 6x = 8x - 43 - 6x \][/tex]

This simplifies to:

[tex]\[ -1 = 2x - 43 \][/tex]

2. Isolate the term with [tex]\( x \)[/tex] by adding 43 to both sides:

[tex]\[ -1 + 43 = 2x - 43 + 43 \][/tex]

This simplifies to:

[tex]\[ 42 = 2x \][/tex]

3. Solve for [tex]\( x \)[/tex] by dividing both sides by 2:

[tex]\[ \frac{42}{2} = \frac{2x}{2} \][/tex]

This simplifies to:

[tex]\[ 21 = x \][/tex]

Therefore, the value of [tex]\( x \)[/tex] is [tex]\( 21 \)[/tex].

[tex]\[ \boxed{21} \][/tex]
