-2.3x - 4.2x = -66.3
Solve the equation for x

Answer 1

x=10.2

Combine -2.3x and -4.2x since they are like terms, which equals -6.5x. Then you need to divide -66.3 by -6.5, and when you do so, you get your answer, 10.2 as x.

Answer 2

x=10.

Explanation:

-2.3x-4.2x=-66.3

-2.3+-4.2=-6.5x

-6.5x÷-6.5

-66.3÷-6.5

x=10.
