8.63 = x

Hope this helped! :)

Explanation:

-19=8(1x-11)

Use distributive property 8(1x-11)

8x-88

-19=8x-88

Add 88 to each side

69=8x

Divide by 8 on each side

8.625=x

Answer 2

Answer:
`x=8.63`

Simplify both sides of the equation

`-19=(8)(1x)+(8)(-11)(Distribute)\\-19=8x+-88`

Flip the equation

`8x-88=-19`

Add 88 to both sides

`8x-88+88=-19+88\\8x=69`

Divide both sides by 8

`8x/8=69/8\\x=69/8`

Divide 69/8

`69/8=8.625`

Round to the nearest hundredth

`8.625=8.63\\x=8.63`
