Question

Solve for x . x/2 + 1.1= -2.1

Answer 1

Answer: x = 1.6

Step-by-step explanation:

Start by Identifying what you need to keep, in this case that would be X. In order to solve for x, you would need to get rid of any co-efficients. (example: +1.1) To get rid of them, you have to do the opposite action of what it's doing to the equation. (subtraction)

1.1- (-2.1) = 3.2 (if you subtract a negative, it turns positive/ you add) leaving you with x/2 = 3.2.

Now that we have our coefficient out the way, we have to get rid of the division so we can only solve for x. We do that by dividing the remainder of the equation by 2

3.2/2 = 1.6

Leaving us with the answer, x = 1.6
