Answer 1

Answer:

x=-3

Step-by-step explanation:

In order to solve this equation, we have to isolate x. Perform the opposite of what is being done to the equation. Remember to perform everything to both sides.

1.8-3.7x= -4.2x +0.3

3.7x is being subtracted from 1.8 (-3.7x). The inverse operation of subtraction is addition. Add 3.7x to both sides.

1.8-3.7x+3.7x= -4.2x+3.7x+0.3

1.8= -4.2x+3.7x+0.3

1.8= -0.5x+0.3

0.3 is being added to -0.5x. The opposite of addition is subtraction. Subtract 0.3 from both sides.

1.8-0.3= -0.5x+0.3-0.3

1.8-0.3 = -0.5x

1.5=-0.5x

-0.5 and x are being multiplied (-0.5*x= -0.5x). The opposite of multiplication is division. Divide both sides by -0.5.

1.5/-0.5=-0.5x/-0.5

1.5/-0.5=x

-3=x

Answer 2

Answer:

x = -3

Step-by-step explanation:

1.8 - 3.7x = -4.2x +.3

Add 4.2x to each side

1.8 - 3.7x +4.2x= -4.2x+4.2x +.3

1.8 +.5x = .3

Subtract 1.8 from each side

1.8 +.5x -1.8 = .3 -1.8

.5x = -1.5

Divide each side by .5

.5x/.5 = -1.5/.5

x = -3
