Step-by-step explanation:
Swap the sides of the equation :
⤑
We want to remove the 17.56 first.
Since the original equation is 17.56 , we are going to use the opposite operation and subtract 17.56 from both sides :
⤑
Simplify. 17.56 - 17.56 = 0 on the left. 30.16 - 17.36 = 12.6 on the right.
⤑
Then, we need to think about how to remove the coefficient 5. Since the opposite of multiplication is division , I am going to divide both sides by 5.
⤑
Simplify. 5/5 = 1 on the left and 12.6/5 = 2.52 on the right. So, Our answer is x = 2.52.
