10. - 3.8x - 5.9x = 223.1
10. - 3.8x - 5.9x = 223.1
Answer
Explanation:
Step1: Combine like terms
$$-3.8x - 5.9x=( - 3.8-5.9)x=-9.7x$$ So the equation becomes $-9.7x = 223.1$.
Step2: Solve for (x)
Divide both sides of the equation $-9.7x = 223.1$ by $-9.7$. $$x=\frac{223.1}{-9.7}$$ $$x=-23$$
Answer:
(x = - 23)
