Question

What is 2.3(x – 2) = 15

Answer 1

`\huge\textsf{Hey there!}`

`\mathsf{2.3(x - 2) = 15}`

`\mathsf{2.3(x) + 2.3(-2) = 15}`

`\mathsf{2.3x - 4.6 = 15}`

`\large\textsf{ADD 4.6 to BOTH SIDES}`

`\mathsf{2.3x - 4.6 + 4.6 = 15 + 4.6}`

`\large\textsf{CANCEL out: -4.6 + 4.6 because it gives the number 0}`

`\large\textsf{KEEP: 15 + 4.6 because that helps solve find the x-value}`

`\mathsf{15 + 4.6 = \boxed{\bf 19.6}}`

`\large\textsf{NEW EQUATION: 2.3x = 19.6}`

`\large\textsf{DIVIDE 2.3 to BOTH SIDES}`

`\mathsf{(2.3x)/(2.3)=(19.6)/(2.3)}`

`\large\textsf{CANCEL out: }\mathsf{(2.3)/(2.3)}\large\textsf{ because that gives you 1}`

`\large\textsf{KEEP: }\mathsf{(19.6)/(2.3)}\large\textsf{ because that gives you the value of x}`

`\mathsf{(19.6)/(2.3)= \boxed{\bf x}}`

`\mathsf{\boxed{\bf x}=(19.6)/(2.3)}`

`\boxed{\bf {x = 8.521739}}`

`\boxed{\boxed{\large\textsf{Answer: \huge \bf x = 8.521739}}}\huge\checkmark`

`\large\textsf{Good luck on your assignment and enjoy your day!}`
