Question

Solve the linear equation for x.

–4.8(6.3x – 4.18) = –58.56

x =

Answer 1

I am so sorry for the misunderstanding. x=2.6

Explanation:

Distribute

−4.8(6.3x−4.18)=−58.56

−30.24x+20.064=−58.56

Subtract 20.064 from both sides

−30.24x+20.064=−58.56

−30.24x+20.064−20.064=−58.56−20.064

Simplify the expression

Subtract the numbers

−30.24x+20.064−20.064=−58.56−20.064

−30.24x=−58.56−20.064

Subtract the numbers

−30.24x=−58.56−20.064

−30.24x=−78.624

−30.24x+20.064−20.064=−58.56−20.064

−30.24x=−78.624

Divide both sides by the same factor
−30.24x=−78.624

−30.24x/30.24=−78.624/30.24

Simplify the expression
So there for, x=2.6

Answer 2

x = 2.6

Explanation:

–4.8(6.3x – 4.18) = –58.56

-30.24x + 20.064 = -58.56

-30.24x = -78.624

x = 2.6

So, x = 2.6 is the answer.
