Answer:
x = 274 91/107
Step-by-step explanation:
Step-by-step explanation:
This is called a "two-step linear equation" because it is solved in 2 steps.
Step 1. Identify the constant on the same side of the equation as the variable term, and add its opposite to both sides of the equation.
2.14x -12.18 +12.18 = 576 +12.18
2.14x = 588.18
__
Step 2. Identify the coefficient of the variable and multiply both sides of the equation by its reciprocal.
2.14x(1/2.14) = 588.18(1/2.14)
x = 274.850467... = 274 91/107 . . . the decimal fraction repeats
The solution to the equation is x = 274 91/107.
