Question

1.6x – 2.88 = 3.4x

X=?????

Answer 1

x = -1.6

Explanation:

Solve for x:

Combine like terms. Here we combine 1.6x and 3.4x, obtaining 1.8x on the right side of the equation and -2.88 on the left side:

-2.88 = 1.8x

Solve for x by dividing both sides by 1.8:

x = -2.88/1.8, or x = -1.6

Answer 2

1.6x-2.88=3.4x

1.6x-3.4x-2.88=0

-1.8x-2.88=0

-1.8x=2.88

x= -1.6
