Hello!

Answer:

\boxed{X=-17}

<u><em>*The answer must have a NEGATIVE sign!*</em></u>

Step-by-step explanation:

First, you divide by -2 from both sides of an equation.

\frac{-2x}{-2}=\frac{34}{-2}

Then, you divide by the numbers from left to right.

34/-2=-17

\boxed{X=-17}, which is our the correct answer.

Hope this helps!

Have a nice day! :)

:D

-Charlie

Thank you!

To solve:

-2x = 34
----- -----
-2 -2

(-2x means -2 times x, so to undo this we need to divide by -2 on both sides)

x = -17

Then you do basic division (knowing that a positive divided by a negative results in a negative answer). And that's it!

65 = 12.1+h  the flower is 65 inches.  it has grown 12.1 inches since the last time he measured it.  the last time he measured it, it was height h.


65 = 12.1 + h

subtract 12.1 from both sides

65-12.1 = 12.1 + h- 12.1

52.9 = h

The last time he measured it it was 52.9 inches
