What is the first step in solving for x in the equation 5.6(x+1.42)=7.8 ?
Answered by GPT 3.5
The first step in solving for x in the equation 5.6(x+1.42)=7.8 is to distribute 5.6 to the terms inside the parentheses:

5.6X + (5.6)(1.42) = 7.8

SUBTRACT 1.42 FROM BOTH SIDES
MULTIPLY BOTH SIDES BY 5.6
DIVIDE B0TH SIDES BY 5.6
ONLY THE LEFT-HAND SIE WAS DIVIDED BY 5.6

The first step in solving the equation 5.6(x+1.42)=7.8 is to distribute 5.6 to the terms inside the parentheses:

5.6x + 5.6(1.42) = 7.8

After distributing, the equation becomes:

5.6x + 7.952 = 7.8

The next step would be to subtract 7.952 from both sides of the equation:

5.6x + 7.952 - 7.952 = 7.8 - 7.952

This simplifies to:

5.6x = -0.152
