Enter your answer, as a decimal, in the box.

Answer 1

Answer:

x = 3.8

Explanation:

−2.7 (x−1.4)=−6.48

(−2.7)x + (−2.7)(−1.4) = −6.48

−2.7x+3.78= −6.48

-2.7x = −6.48 - 3.78  ....changing sides, turns + integer to -

-2.7x = -10.26

x = -10.26/ -2.7  ....changing sides, turns * integer to /

x = 3.8
