Answer:

Explanation:

2+3.3x-1.7=5.25

1. isolate ax

3.3x=5.25-0.3

3.3x=4.95

2. solve for x / divide 3.3 on both sides

3.3x=4.95

÷3.3 ÷3.3

x=1.5 or 1 1/2

Answer:


\sf x = \bigg[1.5\bigg]

Explanation:

Let's solve the equation
\sf 2 + 3.3x - 1.7 = 5.25 for
\sf x:


\sf 2 + 3.3x - 1.7 = 5.25

Combine like terms on the left side:


\sf 3.3x + 0.3 = 5.25

Subtract 0.3 from both sides:


\sf 3.3x + 0.3 -0.3= 5.25 -0.3


\sf 3.3x = 4.95

Now, divide both sides by 3.3 to solve for
\sf x:


\sf (3.3x )/(3.3)= (4.95)/(3.3)


\sf x = 1.5

So, the solution to the equation is
\sf x = \bigg[1.5\bigg].
