Answer:
1) Distribute 1.2 to 6.3 and -7x
2)Combine 3.5 and 7.56
3)Subtract 11.06 from both sides
Step-by-step explanation:
3.5 + 1.2(6.3 - 7x) = 9.38
Distribute 1.2 to 6.3 and -7x
3.5 + 1.2* 6.3 - 1.2 * 7x = 9.38
3.5 + 7.56 - 8.4x = 9.38
Combine 3.5 and 7.56
11.06 - 8.4x = 9.38
Subtract 11.06 from both sides
11.06 - 8.4x -11.06 = 9.38 - 11.06
-8.4x = -1.68
To find solution:
Divide both sides by (-8.4)
-8.4x/-8.4 = -1.68/-8.4
x = 0.02
You just multiply 450 by .18 and it'll give you the 18% you have to add to 450.
So the equation would look like:
450(.18)=81
Which you then add:
450+81= 531
So 531 is your total!
