Subtract 1.1: Which operation should be used to isolate x?In −0.3x+1.1=0.29, we should first subtract 1.1 from both sides to isolate the term with x.Subtract 1.1 from both sides.
Simplify both sides:−0.3x+1.1−1.1=0.29−1.1Simplify both sides.−0.3x=−0.81
Divide by −0.3: Which operation should be used to solve for x?Now, divide both sides by −0.3 to solve for x.Divide by −0.3
Find the value of x:−0.3x/−0.3=−0.81/−0.3Find the value of x.x=2.7
