So you have 3 and you want to get rid of 2 2/5. 3-2 is 1 1-2/5 is equal to three fifths, which is the answer.
The answer 0.6 i apologize if it is incorrect!
Hey!
------------------------------------------------
First Equation:
2x + 3 = -7
2x + 3 - 3 = -7 - 3 (Subtract 7 to both sides)
2x = -10
2x/2 = -10/2 (Divide 2 to both sides)
x = -5
------------------------------------------------
Second Equation:
4.5x - 7 = 20
4.5x + (-7) + 7 = 20 + 7 (Add 7 to both sides)
4.5x = 27
4.5x/4.5 = 27/4.5 (Divide 4.5 to both sides)
x = 6
------------------------------------------------
Third Equation:
-3x + 7 = 28
-3x + 7 - 7 = 28 - 7 (Subtract 7 to both sides)
-3x/-3 = 21/-3 (Divide -3 to both sides)
x = -7
------------------------------------------------
Answers:
2x + 3 = -7 → x = -5
4.5x - 7 = 20 → x = 6
-3x + 7 = 28 → x = -7
------------------------------------------------
Hope This Helped! Good Luck!
