Question

6.7 = 9.7 -0.5x

How do I solve this?

Answer 1

Simplifying x + 6.7 = -9.7 Reorder the terms:

6.7 + x = -9.7 Solving 6.7 + x = -9.7 Solving for variable 'x'. Move all terms containing x to the left, all other terms to the right. Add '-6.7' to each side of the equation.

6.7 + -6.7 + x = -9.7 + -6.7 Combine like terms: 6.7 + -6.7 = 0.0

0.0 + x = -9.7 + -6.7

x = -9.7 + -6.7 Combine like terms: -9.7 + -6.7 = -16.4

x = -16.4 Simplifying x = -16.4
