Question

Solve for x.

Answer 1

Answer:

The Answer is: x = 1.444 with repeating 4.

Step-by-step explanation:

212x - 34(2x + 5) = 38

212x - 68x - 170 = 38

212x - 68x = 38 + 170

144x = 208

x = 208/144 = 52/35 or 1.444

Proof:

212(1.444) - 34(2(1.444) + 5) = 38

306.128 - 34(7.888) = 38

306.128 -  268.192 = 37.936 or approximately 38

Hope this helps! Have an Awesome Day!!  :-)
