Answer:
[tex]-\frac{16.7}{13.3}[/tex]
Step-by-step explanation:
Step 1: Collect the like terms
8.8 + 7.9 = -5.5x - 7.8x
Step 2: Simplify
16.7 = -13.3x
Step 3: Divide both sides by -13.3
[tex]\frac{16.7}{-13.3} =\frac{-13.3}{-13.3}x[/tex]
[tex]x =- \frac{16.7}{13.3}[/tex]
Therefore the answer is [tex]-\frac{16.7}{13.3}[/tex]
Answer:
x = -1 34/133
Step-by-step explanation:
Given
8.8 +7.8x = -7.9 -5.5x
13.3x = -16.7 . . . . . . . . . . . add 5.5x -8.8
x = -16.7/13.3 = -167/133 . . . . divide by 13.3 and simplify
x = -1 34/133 ≈ -1.25564
