Question

What is the value of x in the equation –2.4x = 8.4?

Answer 1

2.4x = 8.4.....divide both sides by -2.4
x = 8.4/-2.4
x = - 3.5

Answer 2

value of x is, 3.5

Explanation:

Division property states that you divide the same number to both sides of an equation.

Given the equation:

`2.4x = 8.4`

Divide both sides by 2.4 we have;

`(2.4x)/(2.4) = (8.4)/(2.4)`

Simplify:

⇒x = 3.5

Therefore, the value of x is, 3.5
