Answer:

-9.8

Explanation:

  • First we distribute.
  • 6x+46.8=-12
  • Subtract 46.8 on both sides
  • We are left with 6x=-58.8
  • Divide 6 on both sides
  • X=-9.8

Answer:

x = -9.8

Explanation:

6(x+7.8) =−12

Divide each side by 6

6/6(x+7.8) =−12/6

(x+7.8) =−2

Subtract 7.8 from each side

x+7.8-7.8 = -2-7.8

x = -9.8
