Use the arithmetic operations to get the variable x on one side of the equation and everything else on the opposite side.

If something is being is being done to a variable, we undo that operation by using the inverse of that operation.

For example, if 10 is being added to x, we use the inverse of addition or subtraction.

18 - 7x = -20.5

We variable x is being multiplied by 7 and is subtracting 18. We need to undo all those operations.

18 - 7x = -20.5
-7x = -38.5

Now the variable is only being multiplied by -7. Reverse the operation.

-7x = -38.5
x = 5.5

So, x is equal to 5.5.

Bingel [31]

Answer:

The task is explained in detail below.

Step-by-step explanation:

We know that a dog, a goat, and a bag of tin cans are to be transported across a river in a ferry that can carry only one of these three items at once (along with a ferry driver).

The driver will first transport the goat to the other shore and then return empty. Then they will take a bag of tin and transport it to the other shore, and then they will return with the goat to their original place.

Then he will leave the goat there and take a dog and carry it to the other shore and then return empty.

And eventually they will take the goat and transport it to the other shore.
