So here you first want to open up the parenthesis by using the distributive property. (Is that what it's called)

So basically multiply each and every number by 0.5.

So 0.5 * -2.5x - 0.5 * 4.7 = 16.9

Is what you get after doing that.

And then just multiply the numbers

So

-1.25 * x - 2.35 = 16.9

Add 2.35 to both sides

-1.25 * x = 19.25

And then divide both sides by -1.25 to get

x = - 15.4

So there's your answer.

(Sorry I took so long btw)

MatroZZZ [7]

Answer:

Step-by-step explanation:

(6/5)√x = x - 6

(36/25)x = x² - 12x + 36

0 = x² - 13.44x + 36

x = (13.44 ± √(13.44² - 4(1)(36))) / (2(1))

x = (13.44 ± 6.052569702...) / 2

x = 3.69371... zebras

or

x = 9.74628... zebras

In either case we have some odd fractions of zebras hanging around. This makes me highly suspect that the question is misreported
