How do you solve 2.14 x - 12.18=5.76

Add 12.18 to 5.76

which leaves 2.14x = 17.94

divide both sides by 2.14

which leaves

X = 8.38318

8.38 rounded to nearest hundredth

Step-by-step explanation:

2.14x-12.18=5.76

+12.18=+12.18

use the inverse of subtraction which is adding. the 12.18 cancels out on the left side.

2.14x = 17.94

now to get x by itself you divide 2.14 on both sides

x=8.38
