Answer 1

Equations can have zero, one or more solutions

The solution to the equation is x = -0.5

The equation is given as:

$6.8x+9.3 = -9.4+3.4(2-5x)$

Distribute the expression

$6.8x+9.3 = -9.4+3.4\times 2-3.4\times 5x$

$6.8x+9.3 = -9.4+6.8-17x$

Apply addition properties

$6.8x+9.3 = -2.6-17x$

Combine terms

$6.8x+17x =-9.3 -2.6$

Apply addition properties

$23.8x =-11.9$

Apply division properties

$x =-0.5$

Hence, the solution to the equation is -0.5
