Question

Solve for x. −2.3(x−1.2)=−9.66 explain your answer id prefer someone whose not going to just say a random number for the points

Answer 1

−2.3(x−1.2)=−9.66 remove the brackets by multiplying
-2.3x+2.76=-9.66 collect the like terms
-2.3x=-9.66-2.76
-2.3x=-12.42 divide both sides by -2.3 to find x
x=5.4

Answer 2

Answer: 5.4

Explanation:

The given equation :
`-2.3(x-1.2)=-9.66`

To solve the above equation for x , first we divide both sides by -2.3 , we get

`(-2.3(x-1.2))/(-2.3)=(-9.66)/(-2.3)`

`(x-1.2)=4.2`

Now, we are adding 1.2 on both the sides of the equation , we get

`x-1.2+1.2=4.2+1.2`

`\Rightarrow x=5.4`

Therefore , the value of x = 5.4
