2 + 3.3x – 1.7 = 5.25

1 answer

To solve the equation 2+3.3x1.7=5.25, first simplify the left side:

21.7=0.3

Now the equation can be rewritten as:

0.3+3.3x=5.25

Next, subtract 0.3 from both sides:

3.3x=5.250.3

Calculating the right side gives:

5.250.3=4.95

So the equation becomes:

3.3x=4.95

Now, divide both sides by 3.3:

x=4.953.3

Calculating the division:

x1.5

Thus, the solution is:

x1.5
