Question

6.8x+9.3 = -9.4+3,4(2-5x) 6.8x+9.3 = -9.4+6.8 -17 6.8x+9.3 = -2.6-17x

Answer 1

Answer:

x = -0.5

Step-by-step explanation:

From your last step:

6.8x + 9.3 = -2.6 - 17x

We have two terms with x in them on different sides of the equation, so we want to bring the 'x terms' over to the same side.

Add 17x to both sides of the equation.

6.8x + 17x + 9.3 = -2.6

Collect like terms

23.8x + 9.3 = -2.6

Subtract 9.3 from both sides

23.8x = -2.6 - 9.3

23.8x = -11.9

Divide both sides by 23.8

x = -0.5
