Question

What is the answer to this eqution 3.5(x+2)=-4 ? could you please help me thank you

Answer 1

x=-22/7

Explanation:

multiply 3.5 and x then multiply 3.5 and 2. this will get you 3.5x+7=-4. next you need to subtract the 7 from the -4, resulting in 3.5=-11. finally divide -11 and 3.5, after that you get the answer of x=-22/7 or -3 1/7. if you need decimal form that will be -3.142857

Answer 2

x=-3.14

or -3 with -.5 remainder

Explanation:

PEMDAS

Parenthesis Exponent Multiply Divide Add Subtract

parenthesis 3.5*x=3.5x 3.5*2=7

3.5x+7=-4

subtract 7 from both sides

3.5x=-11

divide both sides by 3.5

x=-3.14

or -3 with -.5 remainder
