Bytelearn · Accepted Answer

Distribute -2.3: First, distribute -2.3 across the terms inside the parentheses on the right side of the equation. -8 - 10x = 4 - 2.3(6x) - 2.3(6.8) - 5.3xCalculate products: Calculate the products of -2.3 with each term inside the parentheses. -8 - 10x = 4 - 13.8x - 15.64 - 5.3xCombine like terms: Combine like terms on the right side of the equation. -8 - 10x = 4 - 15.64 - 13.8x - 5.3xAdd x terms: Add the x terms on the right side of the equation. -8 - 10x = 4 - 15.64 - (13.8x + 5.3x) -8 - 10x = 4 - 15.64 - 19.1xCombine constants: Combine the constants on the right side of the equation. -8 - 10x = (4 - 15.64) - 19.1x -8 - 10x = -11.64 - 19.1xAdd 19.1x: Add 19.1x to both sides of the equation to get all x terms on one side. -8 - 10x + 19.1x = -11.64 9.1x - 8 = -11.64Add 8: Add 8 to both sides of the equation to isolate the x term. 9.1x - 8 + 8 = -11.64 + 8 9.1x = -3.64Divide by 9.1: Divide both sides by 9.1 to solve for x. x = -3.64 / 9.1 x ≈ -0.4
