Question

Solve the equation. Round the solution to two decimal places.

23. 18.3y- 7.6 = 8.4y - 14.6

24. 4.1x - 1.3= 0.7x + 25.9

Answer 1

Subtract the y values to one side then the numbers to the other so as x values to one side then the numbers to the other

Answer 2

y = -0.71

x = 8

Explanation:

Bring variables on one side of the equation

18.3y - 8.4y = -14.6 + 7.6

4.1x - 0.7x = 25.9 + 1.3

Solve for the variable

9.9y = -7

y = -70/99

3.4x = 27.2

x = 8
