Answer 2

The answers for the exercise shown above are the second option, the third option, the fifth option and the sixth option, which are:
2) Distribute 2 to 9.7 and −4.8x.
3) Combine 3.4 and 19.4.
5) Substract 22.8 from both sides.
6) Divide both sides by −9.6
The steps are shown below:
3.4+2(9.7-4.8x)=61.2
3.4+19.4-9.6x=61.2
22.8-9.6x=61.2
228-22.8-9.6x=61.2-22.8
-9.6x=38.4
-9.6x/-9.6=38.4/-9.6
x=-4
