What is X?

2.3x-8.7=0.8x-4.2

x = 45/17

Step-by-step explanation:

We can move all x to 1 side and all the numbers to another. You can add 8.7 on both sides and get that 2.3x = 0.8x + 4.5. Next, we subtract by 0.8x on both sides to get that 1.7x = 4.5, where we can then divide by 17/10 on both sides to get that x is equal to 45/10 * 10/17, so that means that x = 45/17.

7x+8x+2=18x+−27+−8

(7x+8x)+(2)=(18x)+(−27+−8)(combine like terms)

15x+2=18x+−35

15x+2=18x−35

tep 2: subtract 18x from both sides.

15x+2−18x=18x−35−18x

−3x+2=−35

step 3: subtract 2 from both sides.

−3x+2−2=−35−2

−3x=−37

step 4: divide both sides by -3.
