Enter your answer, as a decimal, in the box.

Answer 1

x = 3.8

Step-by-step explanation:

−2.7 (x−1.4)=−6.48

(−2.7)x + (−2.7)(−1.4) = −6.48

−2.7x+3.78= −6.48

-2.7x = −6.48 - 3.78 ....changing sides, turns + integer to -

-2.7x = -10.26

x = -10.26/ -2.7 ....changing sides, turns * integer to /

x = 3.8
