Answer:

to 1dp = -2.6

to 2 dp= -2.64

as fraction = 29/-11

Explanation:

x+1 = 6(2x+5) - you multiply each side by 2x + 5

x+1 =12x+30 - expanding the brackets

x-12x+1=30 - subtract 12x from both sides

x -12x = 30-1 - subtract one from both sides

-11x = 29 - you just work each side out to get these answers

29/-11 =x - divide -11 from both sides

-2.63636363636 =x - using a calculator ( if finding whole number ) you do 29/-11

to 1dp = -2.6

to 2 dp= -2.64
