8.6x + 4.4x - 11 = 54

1 answer

To solve the equation, we combine like terms:

8.6x + 4.4x - 11 = 54

Combining the x terms gives us:

13x - 11 = 54

Next, we isolate the variable by adding 11 to both sides:

13x - 11 + 11 = 54 + 11

This simplifies to:

13x = 65

To solve for x, we divide both sides of the equation by 13:

13x/13 = 65/13

x = 5

So the solution to the equation is x = 5.
