Question

Which value of x makes the equation true?

x – 3.4 = 9.6



x =

Answer 1

x - 3.4 = 9.6 (the opposite of - 3.4 is + 3.4, so add 3.4 to each side)

x - 3.4 + 3.4 = 9.6 + 3.4

x = 9.6 + 3.4

x = 13

Answer 2

In order to solve this you need to isolate x by adding 3.4 to both sides of the equation which would give you x=13
Your final answer is x=13
