Question

Solve for x.

89(54x−36)+2=−34(−40+16x)+90x

Answer 1

Answer: x is equal to 0.88

Explanation:

To solve for x, we can start by simplifying both sides of the equation:

89(54x - 36) + 2 = -34(-40 + 16x) + 90x

First we can simplify the left side of the equation:

89(54x - 36) + 2 = 4846x - 3204 + 2 = 4846x - 3202

Now we can simplify the right side of the equation:

-34(-40 + 16x) + 90x = -34(16x - 40) + 90x = -544x + 1360 + 90x = -454x + 1360

Now we can set the left side of the equation equal to the right side and solve for x:

4846x - 3202 = -454x + 1360

Now we can add 454x to both sides and subtract 1360 from both sides

5,300x = 4660

x = 4660/5300

x = 0.88

Therefore, x is equal to 0.88

Answer 2

0.86

Explanation:

89(54x-36)+2=-34(-40+16x)+90x

4806x-3204+2=1360-544x+90x

4806x+500x-90x=3204-2+1360

5260x=4562

x= 4562/5260

x=0.86
