Answer:
-23
Step-by-step explanation: You have to combine like terms first:
-3.8x -5.9x =223.1
-9.7x = 223.1
Then divide om each side of the equation by -9.7.
-9.7x/-9.7 = 223.1/-9.7
x =- 23
Answer:
x=-23
Step-by-step explanation:
-3.8x-5.9x=223.1
Collect like terms by calculating the sum or difference of their coefficients
(-3.8-5.9)x
calculate the difference
-9.7x=223.1
Divide both sides of the equation by -9.7
-9.7x÷(-9.7)=223.1÷(-9.7)
Any expression divided by itself equals 1
x=223.1÷(-9.7)
x=-23
