Question

Solve for x.
8.7 +X = 7
1.1
X = [?]

Answer 1

X = 1.7

Explanation:

To solve for x, you can subtract 8.7 from both sides of the equation.

8.7 + X = 7

-8.7 -8.7

X = -1.7

So X = -1.7

Answer 2

`8.7+x=7`

Rearrange:

`x+8.7=7`

Subtract 8.7 from both sides:

`x+8.7-8.7=7-8.7`

`\fbox{x = -1.7}`
