1.04x + 3.14 = 7.98

OpenStudy (paki):

OpenStudy (anonymous):

Solve the equation. Round the answer to the nearest tenth.

OpenStudy (paki):

ok... so leave the "x" alone.... at one side....

OpenStudy (anonymous):

ok

OpenStudy (paki):

so what will be the next step....

OpenStudy (anonymous):

i have no idea im no good at this math stuff

OpenStudy (paki):

ok see.... 1.04x + 3.14 = 7.98.... 1.0x=7.98-3.14... .you got this....

OpenStudy (anonymous):

yes i got this part but whats next

OpenStudy (paki):

ok... now subtract 3.14 from 7.98.... what you got...

OpenStudy (anonymous):

-4.84

OpenStudy (paki):

not minus... it will be plus... as the greater value have plus sign, so we will use that sign... so it will be +4.84... ok

OpenStudy (paki):

OpenStudy (anonymous):

i have no idea unless u divide 4.84 by something

OpenStudy (paki):

yup, for leaving "x" alone, we will divide it both sides by 1.04...so what will be the answer now...?

OpenStudy (anonymous):

would it be 4.65

OpenStudy (paki):

what you did... post here... mean write here

OpenStudy (anonymous):
