Question

solve the equation x + 14.7 = 36.5. 1. x = 51.2 2. x = 21.8 3. x = 22.2 4. x = 21.9

Answer 1

To solve the equation x + 14.7 = 36.5, we can subtract 14.7 from both sides of the equation. This gives us x = 36.5 - 14.7.

Evaluating the right side, we get x = 21.8. Therefore, the correct answer is 2. x = 21.8.
