It is 3 because if you count it 5-11 that’s 6 but you have to divide it by 2 sense there is 2 so that answer is 4
The answer is
![- \frac{1}{10}](https://tex.z-dn.net/?f=-%20%5Cfrac%7B1%7D%7B10%7D%20)
To figure this out, convert both numbers to fractions. 1.03 = 1
![\frac{3}{100}](https://tex.z-dn.net/?f=%5Cfrac%7B3%7D%7B100%7D%20)
and (-10.3) = -10
![\frac{3}{10}](https://tex.z-dn.net/?f=%20%5Cfrac%7B3%7D%7B10%7D%20)
. Now, convert to improper fractions.
1
![\frac{3}{100} = [tex] \frac{103}{100}](https://tex.z-dn.net/?f=%20%5Cfrac%7B3%7D%7B100%7D%20%20%3D%20%5Btex%5D%20%5Cfrac%7B103%7D%7B100%7D%20)
-10
![\frac{3}{10}](https://tex.z-dn.net/?f=%20%5Cfrac%7B3%7D%7B10%7D%20)
=
![- \frac{103}{10}](https://tex.z-dn.net/?f=-%20%5Cfrac%7B103%7D%7B10%7D%20)
Now, divide. Dividing fractions is the same as multiplying by the reciporical. So:
![-\frac{103}{10} \ becomes\ \frac{10}{103}](https://tex.z-dn.net/?f=%20-%5Cfrac%7B103%7D%7B10%7D%20%20%5C%20becomes%5C%20%20%5Cfrac%7B10%7D%7B103%7D%20)
You want to isolate x. To accomplish this, add 1.4 to both sides of your eqn.:
x = 7.82 + 1.4 = 9.22 (answer)
