Question

Which is the solution of the equation below, rounded to the nearest tenth?

1.6x – 3.38 = 5.81x + 4.67

A.
–0.2

B.
–2.0

C.
–0.3

D.
–1.9

Answer 1

1.6x - 3.38 = 5.81x + 4.67 (subtract 5.81x from both sides)
1.6x - 5.81x - 3.38 = 4.67 (add 3.38 to both sides)
1.6x - 5.81x = 4.67 + 3.38 (combine like terms)
-4.21x = 8.05 (divide both sides by -4.21)
x = 8.05/-4.21
x = - 1.91 rounds to - 1.9
