Answer 2

2.8867

Explanation:

9.8x+17=7.6x-16

We move all terms to the left:

9.8x+17-(7.6x-16)=0

We get rid of parentheses

9.8x-7.6x+16+17=0

We add all the numbers together, and all the variables

2.2x+33=0

We move all terms containing x to the left, all other terms to the right

2.2x=-33

x=-33/2.2

x=-2.8867
