Answer:
x = -11.9
Step-by-step explanation:
x + 5.1 = –6.8
Subtract 5.1 from each side
x + 5.1-5.1 = –6.8-5.1
x = -11.9
2/20 is equivalent to 1/10 because 2/2 is equal to 1 and 20/2 is equal to 10.
0.3 is 3 tenths.
The order of "ths" is tenths, hundredths, thousandths.
Since there are no numbers after the 3, you simply have to add 2 zeros to make it 300 thousandths.

Minus 12x both sides
0=5x^2-12x+9
use quadratic formula
for 0=ax^2+bx+c
x=
given
5x^2-12x+9
a=5
b=-12
c=9
remember: i=√-1
