Question

Splve for x. -1.4x = 4(x + 2.18)

Answer 1

Answer:

-1.61481

Step-by-step explanation:

-1.4x = 4(x + 2.18)

Pemdas

get rid of parentheses

-1.4x= 4x +8.72

then subtract from both sides to get x's on the same side

-1.4x-4x=4x+8.72-4x

positive 4x and negative 4x cancel each other out and  put the x['s on the left side together so -5.4x

-5.4x=8.72

divide -5.4 from both

-5.4x/-5.4= 8.72/-5.4

x=-1.61481 or round up to two

Answer 2

X=-218/135 Or x=1.61481
