3
4
(x) − 1.72 = −6.82

1. The first step is to
✔ add 1.72
on both sides.
2. The second step is to
on both sides.


The solution is x =
.

Answer 1

Here is the correct answer is this

Explanation:

Answer 2

• 
  `\boxed{\sf{x=-0.15}}`

Explanation:

Isolate the term of x from one side of the equation.

34(x)-1.72=-6.82

Rewrite the problem down.

⇒ 34x-1.72=-6.82

First, add by 1.72 from both sides.

⇒ 34x-1.72+1.72=-6.82+1.72

Solve.

⇒ -6.82+1.72=-5.1

Rewrite the problem down.

⇒ 34x=-5.1

Divide by 34 from both sides.

⇒34x/34=-5.1/34

Solve.

Divide the numbers from left to right.

⇒ -5.1/34=-0.15

⇒ x=-0.15

• Therefore, the solution is x=-0.15, which is our answer.
