Answer

The value of x is 13.

Step-by-step explanation

We need to find the value of x.

6.6 (x + 4) = 5.1 (2x - 4)

We first open the brackets

6.6x + 26.4 = 10.2x - 20.4

We then bring the terms with x to one side and the terms without x to the other side

6.6x - 10.2x = -20.4 - 26.4

-3.6x = -46.8

Divide both sides by -3.6

(-3.6x/-3.6) = (-46.8/-3.6)

x = 13

Hope this Helps!!!
