Solve for X:
To solve the equation , we begin by isolating the term with the variable.
Step 1: Move the constant term on the left side to the right side of the equation. Subtract 5.214 from both sides:
This simplifies to:
Step 2: Solve for by dividing both sides by the coefficient of , which is -3.24:
Perform the division:
Thus, the solution to the equation is , aligning with the correct choice given the options.
3.001
Solve for X:
\( x - 3 + 5 = 8 - 2 \)
When moving a term across the equals sign, you do the opposite operation. Since 5.214 is being added on the left side, you subtract it from both sides to cancel it out.
Remember: negative divided by negative equals positive! So . The negatives cancel out.
Double-check your arithmetic! Common errors include wrong subtraction (5.214 - (-4.51)) or incorrect division. Use a calculator if needed and always verify your answer.
Yes! You could add to both sides first, then subtract constants. Either order works as long as you do the same operation to both sides.
Match the precision given in the problem. Since the coefficients have 3 decimal places, your answer should typically have 3 decimal places too: x = 3.001.
