Answer:
x = -3.7
Step-by-step explanation:
so in this equation we are trying to find the variable x and to do so we have only have the variables on one side of the equal sign and numbers on the other. SO the equation is:
-8.3 + x = -12
So we are going to only have x on the left side of the equal sign, so we are going to add 8.3 to -8.3 and -12 because what you do to one side you do to the other:
-8.3 + x = -12
+8.3 +8.3
to make the equation look like this:
x = -3.7
Now to check our work we are going to replace where the x variable is in the equation -8.3 + x = -12 with -3.7
-8.3 + (-3.7) = -12
-12 = -12
Hope this helps!!!
