Question

Solve for x.
- 30 – 5x - 1) + 7 = - 110

Answer 1

`x = (86)/(5) = 17 (1)/(5) = 17.2`

Explanation:

`( - 30 - 5x - 1) + 7 = - 110`

`( - 31 - 5x) + 7 = - 110`

`- 31 - 5x + 7 = - 110`

`- 24 - 5x = - 110`

`- 5x = - 110 + 24`

`- 5x = - 86`

`\boxed{\green{x = (86)/(5) = 17 (1)/(5) = 17.2}}`
