Question

Please help!!!!!!!!

Consider the equation 0.2(x – 4.5) + 1.7 = 9.6.

1. Use the distribution property.

2. Combine like terms.

3. Use the properties of equality and inverse operations to isolate the variable.

0.2x + (-0.9) + 1.7 = 9.6

0.2x + 0.8 = 9.6

x =

Answer 1

Answer:

  x = 44

Step-by-step explanation:

So far, so good.

And multiply both sides by 5 (equivalently, divide by 0.2).

  x = 44
