Question

0.2 was divided into a particular number. this quotient was the multiplied by 7, and 2.8 was taken from that product. if the previous operation resulted in -499.8 find the initial number

Answer 1

(x/0.2)(7)-2.8=-499.8

x=-14.2

Explanation:

(x/0.2)(7)-2.8=-499.8

7x/0.2 -2.8 = -499.8

35x -2.8 = -499.8

35x = -499.8 +2.8

35x = -497

35x/35 = -497/35

x = -14.2

you probably already got it solved, but at least this can help anyone else!
