(A) 0.53
Step-by-step explanation:
Number 1:
If we have the equation , our first goal is to get rid of the x term on one side.
To do this we can subtract 3x from both sides. This leaves our equation to . To find x, we want to divide both sides by 2 since 2x divided by 2 is just x. Our goal is to isolate x. This leaves
.
