Question

I am stuck on these last four questions please help if possible.

-Solving equations with variables on both sides

Answer 1

Explanation:

9). -2.2(4 - 1.9x) = 3.3(0.2x - 0.8)

-8.8 + 2.2(1.9x) = 0.66x - 2.64

-8.8 + 4.18x = 0.66x - 2.64

4.18x - 0.66x = 8.8 - 2.64

3.52x = 6.16

x = 1.75

10). 3.2(1 + 2.6x) = 2.4(x - 3.6)

3.2 + 8.32x = 2.4x - 8.64

8.32x - 2.4x = -3.2 - 8.64

5.92x = -11.84

x = 2

11). 4.6(2x - 5.5) = 3.9 + 0.8(1 + 5.5x)

9.2x - 25.3 = 3.9 + 0.8 + 4.4x

9.2x - 25.3 = 4.7 + 4.4x

9.2x - 4.4x = 25.3 + 4.7

4.8x = 30

x = 6.25

12). 0.2(3x + 2.5) - 4.9 = 3.8 - 2.2(x - 5.5)

0.6x + 0.5 - 4.9 = 3.8 - 2.2x + 12.10

0.6x - 4.4 = -2.2x + 15.90

0.6x + 2.2x = 15.90 + 4.4

2.8x = 20.30

x = 7.25
