Question

What is the answer for -2.3 - 5 = x - 17

Answer 1

Explanation:

If you are solving x then do this:

-2.3-5=x-17

First combine like term.

-7.3=x-17

Then add each side of the equation by 17 (we aren't subtracting because we are trying to get rid of -17 so to get rid of it we add by 17).

-7.3 +17 = x-17+17

9.7=x
