-1.2 = x + 5.1

1 answer

To solve the equation \(-1.2 = x + 5.1\), you need to isolate \(x\). Here's how you can do that:

  1. Subtract \(5.1\) from both sides of the equation:

\[ -1.2 - 5.1 = x \]

  1. Perform the calculation on the left side:

\[ -6.3 = x \]

So, the solution is:

\[ x = -6.3 \]
