Question

-7.12 = -4.8+× what is the answer?

Answer 1

You need to get the variable by itself, right? To do that, you need to get rid of the -4.8, and to do that, you need to add 4.8 to each side. -4.8 + 4.8 is 0. -7.12 + 4.8 is -2.32 (because you're adding them; however, since the number with the negative is larger, you keep the sign).

Your answer is -2.32

Answer 2

Simplify both sides of the equation

-7.12 = x-4.8

Flip the equation

x - 4.8 = -7.12

Add 4.8 to both sides

x-4.8+4.8 = -7.12 + 4.8

x = -2.32
