Question

How do I solve 9.7x+8.2=5.9x-7.
and 15.4x-13.7=14x-17.2

Answer 1

Let's solve your equation step-by-step.
9.7x+8.2=5.9x−7
Step 1: Subtract 5.9x from both sides.
9.7x+8.2−5.9x=5.9x
−7−5.9x3.8x+8.2=−7
Step 2: Subtract 8.2 from both sides.
3.8x+8.2−8.2=−7−8.2
3.8x=−15.2
Step 3: Divide both sides by 3.8.
3.8x/3.8=−15.2/3.8
x=−4
