Question

Solve for x
-4.5(x-8.9)=12.6
enter your answer as a decimal

Answer 1

x = 11.7

Explanation:

We have the following equation: -4.5(x-8.9)=12.6

First we divide both parts of the equation by -4.5

Then: (-4.5(x-8.9))/-4.5 = 12.6/-4.5

We get: (x-8.9) = 2.8

Then, solving for x:

(x-8.9) = 2.8 -> x = 2.8 + 8.9 = 11.7

The solution is: x = 11.7
