Find the value of xx in the equation below.

13, point, 7, equals, x, plus, 2, point, 1
13.7=
x+2.1

1 answer

To solve for \( x \) in the equation \( 13.7 = x + 2.1 \), follow these steps:

  1. Subtract \( 2.1 \) from both sides of the equation:

\[ 13.7 - 2.1 = x \]

  1. Calculate the left side:

\[ 13.7 - 2.1 = 11.6 \]

Thus,

\[ x = 11.6 \]

So, the value of \( x \) is \( 11.6 \).
