Question

24 + .044x = 19 + 1.69

Answer 1

24 + .044x = 19 + 1.69

transpose 24 to the opposite side of the equal sign, making it negative

.044x = 19 + 1.69 - 24

.044x = 20.69 - 24

.044x = -3.31

divide both sides by .044 to cancel it out and leave the x in its simplest form

`(.044x)/(.044)` =
`(-3.31)/(.044)`

the answer is:

x = -75.23
