Question

5.2(x+4)=2.3(x-1)+21.5

Answer 1

x = −0.55172413

Explanation:

First, we use the distributive property:

5.2x + 20.8 = 2.3x - 2.3 +21.5

Combine like terms:

5.2x + 20.8 = 2.3x + 19.2

Move integers to one side, and variables to the other:

2.9x = -1.6

Isolate the variable by dividing both sides by 2.9:

x = −0.55172413

Hope this helps!
