Thank you for helping.

Answer 1

x=0.2 to the nearest tenth

Explanation:

The given equation is

`5-(58x+19)=(9-48x)*18`

We apply the distributive property to get:

`5-58x-19=9*18-48x*18`

`5-58x-19=162-864x`

We group similar terms to get:

`864x-58x=162+14`

`806x=176`

`x=(176)/(806)`

`x=(88)/(403)`

x=0.2 to the nearest tenth
