Question

What is the value of x in the equation 6(x+7.8) =−12?

Answer 1

Answer:

x = -9.8

Step-by-step explanation:

6(x+7.8) =−12

Divide each side by 6

6/6(x+7.8) =−12/6

(x+7.8) =−2

Subtract 7.8 from each side

x+7.8-7.8 = -2-7.8

x = -9.8

Answer 2

Answer:

-9.8

Step-by-step explanation:

• First we distribute.
• 6x+46.8=-12
• Subtract 46.8 on both sides
• We are left with 6x=-58.8
• Divide 6 on both sides
• X=-9.8
