Question

Explain the steps in solving 2.14x - 12.18 = -5.76 and write the solution to the equation

Answer 1

\[2.14x-12.18 = -5.7\]
add 12.18 to both sides
\[2.14x = 6.42 \]
divide both sides by 2.14
\[\frac{ 2.14x }{ 2.14 } = \frac{ 6.42 }{ 2.14 }\]
\[x=3\]

Answer 2

i ment to say -5.76 but 6.42 is what it equals to when you add 12.18 to both sides
