Question

1.8x+1=2.6x-7 what is x

Answer 1

`\(x = 10\)`

Explanation:

To solve for
`\(x\)` in the equation
`\(1.8x + 1 = 2.6x - 7\)`:

Step 1: Combine like terms by moving all the
`\(x\)` terms to one side and the constants to the other side.

Subtract
`\(1.8x\)` from each side:

`\[1 = 0.8x - 7\]`

Step 2: Add 7 to each side to isolate the x terms:

`\[8 = 0.8x\]`

Step 3: Divide each side by 0.8 to solve for
`\(x\)`:

`\[x = (8)/(0.8)\]`

`\[x = 10\]`

So,
`\(x = 10\)`.
