Question

this one is way horrible:( 38=30-2(x-1). So far I have 38=28x-28. Then I added 28 to both sides to get 66=28x. But dividing each side by 28 gets me an oddball decimal number:( Help? Anyone?

Answer 1

Instead of converting to a decimal, leave it as a fraction in reduced form.\[{66 \over 28}={33 \over 14}\]
