Question

What value of x makes the followingequation true?3.4x – 7.2 = 5.8x + 24Please help

Answer 1

The value of x is -13.

Step-by-step explanation

We need the value of x.

3.4x - 7.2 = 5.8x + 24

First step is to collect like terms and bring the terms with x to one side and the terms without x to the other side.

3.4x - 5.8x = 24 + 7.2

-2.4x = 31.2

Divide both sides by -2.4

(-2.4x/-2.4) = (31.2/-2.4)

x = -13

Hope this Helps!!!
