Question

solve for the exact value of x.

5in(4x-9)+7=-8

Answer 1

To solve for x, we will first isolate the term with x on one side of the equation.

5in(4x-9) + 7 = -8

Start by subtracting 7 from both sides:

5in(4x-9) = -15

Next, divide both sides by 5in:

4x - 9 = -3

Now, add 9 to both sides:

4x = 6

Finally, divide both sides by 4:

x = 6/4

Simplifying the fraction:

x = 3/2

So the exact value of x is 3/2.
