Answer 4

\[5.4+0.2x=-1.4x+8.6\]Thats ur equation, right?

Answer 5

@camerondoherty yes

Answer 6

Ok, so first you add 1.4x to both sides
Can you do that?

Answer 7

5.4+1.6+8.6?

Answer 8

You mean?
\[5.4+1.6x=8.6 \]

Answer 9

@BleuSoul57

Answer 10

yes

Answer 11

Ok, so now, you subtract 5.4 from both sides c:

Answer 12

1.6x=3.2

Answer 13

now you need to get x by itself

Answer 14

Divide 1.6 by 1.6 and do the same to the opposite side
\[ \frac{1.6x }{ 1.6 }=\frac{ 3.2 }{ 1.6 } \]
That leaves x alone on the left side and the number 2 one the right side
\[x=2 \]
To check redo the whole equation with your new information (x=2)
Check: 5.4+1.6(2)=8.6
