Question

Solve for x in the equation –2x + 4.4 = 23.8.

Answer 1

Answer:

x = - 9.7

Step-by-step explanation:

Isolate the term in x by subtracting 4.4 from both sides of the equation

- 2x = 19.4 ( divide both sides by - 2 )

x = $\frac{19.4}{-2}$ = - 9.7

Answer 2

-2x+4.4=23.8
-4.4| -4.4
-2x=23.8
÷-2 | ÷-2
x=-9.7
