-6.29 (x+7.85)=-19.449

1 answer

To solve this equation, we will need to distribute the -6.29 to the terms in the parenthesis:

-6.29(x) - 6.29(7.85) = -19.449

Simplifying this equation, we have:

-6.29x - 49.2765 = -19.449

Next, we will bring the constant term to the other side of the equation:

-6.29x = -19.449 + 49.2765

-6.29x = 29.8275

Finally, to isolate x, we divide both sides of the equation by -6.29:

x = 29.8275 / -6.29

x ≈ -4.754
