Question

Solving two step equations….

Somebody please help! :)

Answer 1

x = -51

Explanation:

Two-step equations require two inverse operations to solve and have two operations.

1/5(x + 21) = -6

x + 21 = -30

x = -30 - 21

x = -51

Answer 2

x=-51

Explanation:

Given:

`(1)/(5) (x+21)=-6`

The first step is to distribute the 1/5 among numbers in parenthesis:

`(1)/(5)(x+21)=-6\\ (1)/(5)x+4.2=-6`

Subtract 4.2 from both sides

`(1)/(5)x=-10.2`

divide both sides by 1/5

`x=-51`

Hope this helps! :)
