Answer:
[tex]x=-2.6[/tex]
Step-by-step explanation:
we have
[tex]22.5x-14.9=-73.4[/tex]
Solve for x
Adds 14.9 both sides
[tex]22.5x-14.9+14.9=-73.4+14.9[/tex]
[tex]22.5x=-58.5[/tex]
Divide by 22.5 both sides
[tex]22.5x/22.5=-58.5/22.5[/tex]
[tex]x=-2.6[/tex]
Verify
substitute the value of x
[tex]22.5(-2.6)-14.9=-73.4[/tex]
[tex]-58.5-14.9=-73.4[/tex]
[tex]-73.4=-73.4[/tex] ----> is true
