need to find the answer for x please solve and explain 0.9x+2.3x=-6.4

OpenStudy (anonymous):

1. Collect like terms (add 0.9x and 2.3x together!) 2. Divide each side by the coefficient of x

OpenStudy (anonymous):

this question is not for that its for finding what "x" equals to

OpenStudy (anonymous):

The procedure I gave you will give you what x equals to. 0.9x+2.3x=-6.4 3.1x=-6.4 x=-6.4/3.1

OpenStudy (anonymous):

OpenStudy (anonymous):

0.9+2.3 = 3.1

OpenStudy (anonymous):

OpenStudy (anonymous):

OpenStudy (anonymous):
