Question

Solve the two-step equation and identify the steps.

1.4x + 6.1 = -7.9
1. The first step is to
on both sides.​

Answer 1

subtract 6.1

divide by 1.4

x=-10 (the 10 is negative, in case you didn't know.)

Answer 2

x = (-7.9 - 6.1) / 1.4 = -10

I just did a reverse PEMDAS on the left side, while doing the same stuff on the right. I first subtracted 6.1, then divided by 1.4 to get x.
