Question

3.4(x+1.58)=-11.288 value of x.

Answer 1

3.4(x+1.58)= - 11.288

Step 1: Distribute 3.4 to the numbers inside the parentheses (x+1.58)

3.4x + (3.4×1.58)= - 11.288

3.4x + 5.372 = -11.288

Step 2: Bring 5.372 to the right side by subtracting it to both sides

3.4x + (5.372 - 5.372 ) = (-11.288 - 5.372)

3.4x + (0) = (-16.66)

3.4x = -16.66

Step 3: Isolate x by dividing 3.4 to both sides

`(3.4x)/(3.4)  = (-16.66)/(3.4)`

x = -4.9

Hope this helped!
