Answer:

x ≈ - 1.83

Step-by-step explanation:

to solve for x in the question 1.1x + 1.2x - 5.4 = -10

we have

2.3x - 5.4 = -10

collect the like terms

2.3x = -10 + 5.4

2.3x = -4.2

divide both sides by the coefficient of x

2.3x/2.3 = -4.2/2.3

x = -1.826

x ≈ - 1.83

24 written as a percentage

Yanka [14]

Any number is equal to that number over 1

So x is equal to x/1

Same thing with 24. 24 = 24/1

To get it into percent we multiply by 100 so:

$\sf{\frac{24}{1}=\frac{24\times100}{1\times100}}$

And simplifying that we get

$\sf{\frac{2400}{100}}$

And x/100 = x%

so 2400/100 = 2400%

So your answer is <em><u>2400%</u></em> :)
