Question

What value of b will make the expressions −13.2x+b and −2.2(6x−2.4)+4.3 equivalent?

Answer 1

We know that:

• −13.2x + b = −2.2(6x − 2.4) + 4.3

Solution:

• −13.2x + b = −2.2(6x − 2.4) + 4.3
• => −13.2x + b = -13.2x + 5.28 + 4.3
• => −13.2x + b = -13.2x + 9.58
• => b = 9.58

Hence, the value of b to make this equation equivalent is 9.58
