PLS HELP ASAP!! ALGEBRA 9!! 4.29-x+36=102-2.52x+2

Answer 1

Answer:

  x = 29

Step-by-step explanation:

If the equation is :

4.2(9-x)+36=102-2.5(2x+2)

→distribute 4.2 and -2.5 in parenthesis

4.2(9 - x) + 36 = 102 -2.5(2x + 2)

37.8 - 4.2x +36 = 102 -5x -5

→  have terms with x = terms without x

Keep the terms you need the way they are, and move the terms you need on the other side of equal sign with changed sign.

4.2(9 - x) + 36 = 102 -2.5(2x + 2)

37.8 - 4.2x +36 = 102 -5x -5

 - 4.2x  +5 x  = - 37.8 - 36 + 102 - 5

→ Combine like terms

             0.8x  = 23.2

→ Divide both sides by 0.8

                    x = 29
