Answer:


x=-15.8994

Explanation:

Skills needed: Solving one variable equations, Multiplication

1) We are given:
-11.818=-7+(x)/(3.3), and we need to solve for "
x"

2) In order to do this, you need to isolate the variable. In other words, you need to make sure the term involving "
x" is on one side of the equation, while everything else is on the other side.

  • In this case, the term involving "
    x" is:
    (x)/(3.3)
  • In order to isolate
    (x)/(3.3), you need to get rid of the "-7" on the right side. To get rid of it, we can add 7 to both sides.

3)
-11.818+7 = -7+(x)/(3.3) +7


-11.818+7=-4.818

-7 and 7 on the right side cancel out.

4) So you are left with:
-4.818=(x)/(3.3)

  • To get "
    x", you need to multiply both sides by 3.3
  • If you do this, the denominator will get cancelled out, leaving us with "
    x" equaling a value.

5) So then:
-4.818 * 3.3 = x (that star sign in between -4.818 and 3.3 is a multiplication sign)


-4.818*3.3 = -15.8994, so
x = -15.8994

Hope this helps and have a nice day!! :] :) :D

Your answer would be x = -15.8994.

To get this, you first add 7 to each side making the equation -4.818 = x/3.3

Then, you would need to multiply each side by 3.3 to get x by itself.

Your answer would be -15.8994.
