Question

Solve.

Answer 1

Answer:

$x=2\frac{1}{12}$

Step-by-step explanation:

1. The first step is to get 14.8 on the other side. It is a positive number which means that you have to subtract 14.8 on both sides:

$32.3=14.8+8.4x$

-14.8   -14.8

$17.5 = 8.4x$

2. The second step is to get x by itself. Right now it is being multiplied by x so to get it by itself you have to do the opposite of multiplication which is division, so you will divide 8.4 by both sides:

$\frac{17.5}{8.4} = \frac{8.4x}{8.4}$

$x=2\frac{1}{12}$
