Solve the equation 8.88 = 4.44 (x - 7)

Answer & Step-by-step explanation:

8.88 = 4.44 (x - 7)

Distribute 4.44 to (x - 7).

8.88 = 4.44x - 31.08

Add 31.08 on both sides of the equation.

39.96 = 4.44x

Divide 4.44 on both sides of the equation.

9 = x

So, the value of x is equal to 9.

x = 9

Step-by-step explanation:

Multiply the parentheses by 4.44

8.88 = 4.44 (x-7)

-

Move the terms

8.88 = 4.44x - 31.08

-

Calculate

14.44x = - 31.08 - 8.88

-

Divide both sides by - 4.44

14.44x = 39.96

-

Solution

x = 9
