Answer 2

What would you do first?

Answer 3

Add 0.8 to each side?

Answer 4

Correct

Answer 5

Which leaves you with what?

Answer 6

Soo.. its 1.2 = -1.2?

Answer 7

1.2m=-1.2

Which is -1, so that cant be right. My teacher said that the answer is 0.25 but I have no idea how she got that.

Answer 9

Shadow... I’m getting -1 as a answer. What am I doing wrong?
