Question

X = 22 + 10x
How to find x?

Answer 1

x = -2.44

Explanation:

Isolate the variable, x. Note the equal sign, what you do to one side, you do to the other. Subtract 10x from both sides:

x (-10x) = 22 + 10x (-10x)

x - 10x = 22

-9x = 22

Isolate the variable, x. Divide -9 from both sides:

(-9x)/-9 = (22)/-9

x = 22/-9

x = -(22/9)

x = -2.44 (repeating).

x = -2.44 (rounded) is your answer.
