Question

What is the solution to the equation? -6.8 + 2.6+ x = 9.7

Answer 1

Answer: 13.9

Explanation:

Hey there!

So, when finding missing parts of an equation, in this case

-6.8 + 2.6 + x = 9.7

First add

-6.8 + 2.6 = -4.2

Then -4.2 + x = 9.7

To find x, add 4.2 and 9.7 and you get 13.9

Plug 13.9 into the equation for x to check if you are correct

-6.8 + 2.6 + 13.9 = 9.7

-6.8 + 16.5 = 9.7

9.7 = 9.7 ✔

Your solution checks

Hope this helps
