Question

Solve the equation 9.28 + 2x = 18.14 for x.

A. x ≈ 4.93
B. x ≈ 5.43
C. x ≈ 6.43
D. x ≈ 7.43

Answer 1

x = 4.43; which is not an answer option.

Step-by-step explanation:

9.28 + 2x = 18.14

2x = 18.14 - 9.28

2x = 8.86

x = 4.43

This is not one of the answer options. Check for a typo. Was A. x = 4.93 actually suppose to be x = 4.43?

Answer 2

To solve the equation 9.28 + 2x = 18.14 for x, subtract 9.28 from both sides and then divide by 2.

Step-by-step explanation:

To solve the equation 9.28 + 2x = 18.14 for x, we need to isolate x on one side of the equation. First, subtract 9.28 from both sides:

2x = 18.14 - 9.28

2x = 8.86

To solve for x, divide both sides of the equation by 2:

x = 8.86 / 2

x ≈ 4.43

Therefore, the correct answer is A. x ≈ 4.93.
