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
