Question

What is the value of x in the equation 1.8-3.7x=-4.2x+0.3

Answer 1

Answer:

x = -3

Step-by-step explanation:

1.  1.8 - 3.7x = -4.2x + 0.3

  -0.3                        -0.3  (subtract -0.3 from both sides)

2. 1.5 - 3.7x = -4.2x

         +3.7x    +3.7x  (add 3.7x to both sides)

3. 1.5 = -0.5x

   -0.5    -0.5   (divide by -0.5 on both sides)

-3 = x or x = -3
