Question

Which value for x makes the sentence true?

2.45 + x = 3.64

Answer 1

1.23

Explanation:

2.45 + x = 3.68

(Remove the 2.45 so the x would be by itself)

2.45 + x = 3.68

-2.45 -2.45

x = 1.23

(You then divide)

x = 1.23

1 1

x = 1.23

Answer 2

1.19

Explanation:

You're trying to figure out what x is here.

So you'll want to isolate the x. That means, get it alone.

Since both sides are equivalent, when you subtract 2.45 from the x side, you also subtract it from the other side too.

x = 3.64 - 2.45

x = 1.19
