Question

how do you solve 2.14 x - 12.18=5.76

Answer 1

Answer:

8.38 rounded to nearest hundredth

Step-by-step explanation:

2.14x-12.18=5.76

        +12.18=+12.18

use the inverse of subtraction which is adding .the 12.18 cancels out on the left side.

2.14x =17.94

now to get x by itself you divide 2.14 on both sides

x=8.38

Answer 2

add 12.18 to 5.76
which leaves 2.14x = 17.94
divide both sides by 2.14
which leaves
X = 8.38318
