Question

-30.25-25-1.47x=3.8(3.3x+3.1)

Answer 1

$-30.25-25-1.47x=3.8(3.3x+3.1)$

$-55.25-1.47x=12.54x+11.78$

$-67.03-1.47x=12.54x$

$-67.03=14.01x$

$-4.784 = x$

Answer 2

-30.25 - 25 - 1.47x = 3.8(3.3x + 3.1)

Combine like terms on the left side. Distribute the 3.8 on the right side.

-55.25 - 1.47x = 12.54x + 11.78

Add 55.25 to both sides. Subtract 12.54x from both sides.

-14.01x = 67.03

Divide both sides by -14.01.

x = -67.03/14.01 (exact answer)

x = -4.784 (approximate answer)
