How do you solve 16.2(3.1-x)-31.55x=-19.516.2(3.1x)31.55x=19.5?

1 Answer

x=1.460105x=1.460105

Explanation:

16.2(3.1−x)−31.55x=−19.516.2(3.1x)31.55x=19.5

Step 1: Simplify both sides of the equation

DOUBLE DISTRIBUTION OF 16.216.2

−47.75x+50.22=−19.547.75x+50.22=19.5

Step 2: Subtract 50.2250.22 from both sides

−47.75x + cancel(50.22) − cancel(50.22) =−19.5 −50.22

−47.75x=−69.72

Step 3: *Divide both sides by -47.75

(cancel(-47.75)x)/cancel(-47.75) = 69.72/(-47.75)

x = 1.460105
