Question

0.18=..........- -18+-1.8​

Answer 1

Answer:

-16.02

Step-by-step explanation:

I assume the "......" is a variable replacement. I will use x instead.

0.18 = x - - 18 + - 1.8

Negative + Negative = Positive

0.18 = x + 18 + - 1.8

Positive + Negative = Negative

0.18 = x + 18 - 1.8

Combine like terms

0.18 = x + 16.2

Subtract both sides by 16.2 to isolate the variable x

0.18 - 16.2 = x + 16.2 - 16.2

-16.02 = x + 0

-16.02 = x

Check your work:

Plug in -16.02 into the original equation

0.18 = -16.02 + 18 - 1.8

They should equal each other; let's check to make sure

0.18 = 1.98 - 1.8

0.18 = 0.18

They equal each other so our answer is correct
