3.8 + 4.5x – 1.4 = 8.25

x = [?]

1 answer

To solve the equation \(3.8 + 4.5x - 1.4 = 8.25\), we can follow these steps:

  1. Simplify the left side of the equation: \[ 3.8 - 1.4 = 2.4 \] So the equation becomes: \[ 2.4 + 4.5x = 8.25 \]

  2. Subtract \(2.4\) from both sides: \[ 4.5x = 8.25 - 2.4 \] \[ 4.5x = 5.85 \]

  3. Divide both sides by \(4.5\): \[ x = \frac{5.85}{4.5} \]

  4. Calculate the value: \[ x = 1.3 \]

Thus, the value of \(x\) is \(\boxed{1.3}\).
