Question

Consider the equation 0.2(x – 4.5) + 1.7 = 9.6.

Answer 1

Answer:

Step-by-step explanation:

0.2(x – 4.5) + 1.7 = 9.6

0.2*x - 0.2*4.5 + 1.7 = 9.6

0.2x - 0.9 + 1.7 = 9.6

0.2x + 0.8 = 9.6

0.2x = 9.6 - 0.8

0.2x = 8.8

x = 8.8/0.2 = 8.8*10/0.2*10

x = 88/2

x = 44

Answer 2

Answer:

0.2(x-4.5)+1.7=9.6

-1.7                   -1.7

0.2(x-4.5)=7.9

:0.2             :0.2

x-4.5=7.9:0.2

x-4.5=39.5

+4.5      +4.5

x= 44
