To find a value that is too high to be x, we can start by distributing the 5 on the right side of the equation:
-7.2 = 5x - 10.45
Next, let's isolate the term with x by adding 10.45 to both sides:
-7.2 + 10.45 = 5x
3.25 = 5x
Now, let's divide both sides by 5 to solve for x:
3.25/5 = x
x ā 0.65
Since the value of x is approximately 0.65, any value higher than this, such as 1 or 2, would be too high.
-7.2 = 5x - 10.45
Next, let's isolate the term with x by adding 10.45 to both sides:
-7.2 + 10.45 = 5x
3.25 = 5x
Now, let's divide both sides by 5 to solve for x:
3.25/5 = x
x ā 0.65
Since the value of x is approximately 0.65, any value higher than this, such as 1 or 2, would be too high.
