Question

Which value of x makes the equation 2.75(2x - 14)= 5.55

Answer 1

Answer:

x=881/110 =8^1/110 =8.009

Step-by-step explanation:

2.75(2x−14)=5.55

Divide both sides by 2.75.

2x-14=5.55/2.75

Expand  5.55/2.75 by multiplying both numerator and the denominator by 100.

2x−14= 555/275

Reduce the fraction  555/275 to lowest terms by extracting and canceling out 5.

2x−14= 111/5

Convert 14 to fraction  770/55 = 14

2x=111/55+770/55

Since 111/55 and 770/55 have the same denominator, add them by adding their numerators.

2x=111+770/5

Add 111 and 770 to get 881.

2x=881/55

Divide both sides by 2.

x= 881/55/2

Express 881/55/2 as a single fraction.

x= 881/55 x 2

Multiply 55 and 2 to get 110.

x = 881/110
