Question

Solve for x. −2.3(x−1.2)=−9.66 Enter your answer, as a decimal, in the box.

Answer 1

The value of x is 5.4.

Explanation:

To answer, we first divide both sides of the equation by -2.3 giving us a new equation which is,

x - 1.2 = 4.2

Then, we add 1.2 to both sides of the equation,

(x - 1.2) + 1.2 = 4.2 + 1.2

x = 5.4
