Answer 1

Answer:

The value of x is -108.33.      

Step-by-step explanation:

Given : Expression $4.5(8-x)-33=98-2.5(3x+24)$

To find : Solve for x?

Solution :

Step 1 - Write the expression,

$4.5(8-x)-33=98-2.5(3x+24)$

Step 2 - Apply distributive property, $a(b+c)=ab+ac$

$4.5\times 88-4.5x-33=98-2.5\times 3x-2.5\times 24$

Step 3 - Solve,

$396-4.5x-33=98-7.5x-60$

$363-4.5x=38-7.5x$

$-4.5x+7.5x=38-363$

$3x=-325$

$x=-\frac{325}{3}$

$x=-108.33$

Therefore, The value of x is -108.33.
