Just use long subtraction by expanding the decimal places of the whole number. This is done by adding a point, and enough zeros to it to match the number of decimal digits in the other number (digits after the decimal point).

12345678

i.e: 5 - 2.48374827, 2.48374827 has 8 decimal digits, so add 8 zeros after the point.

1 1 1 1 1 1 1

5.00000000

7 + 3 = 10, 7 + 2 + 1 = 10, 8 + 1 + 1= 10, 5 + 4 + 1 = 10, 2 + 7 + 1 = 10, 3 + 6 + 1 = 10, 1 + 8 + 1 = 10, 5 + 4 + 1 = 10, 2 + 2 + 1 = 5 : 5.00000000

This is basically borrowing a group of 10s which are the same as 1s in the next decimal place up.

For each digit except the first to the right, let 10 subtract that number from it and minus 1 since the 1 is carried over.

3(x + 1) = -2 (x - 1) -4

AlekseyPX

Answer:

x = -1

Step-by-step explanation:

use distribution

3x + 3 = -2x + 2 - 4

simplify

3x + 3 = -2x - 2

combine like terms

3x + 3 = -2x - 2

-3x -3x

3 = -5x - 2

+2 +2

5 = -5x

/-5 /-5

-1 = x
