Simplifying 21.5x + - 7.7 + - 12.6x + 17 = 0 Reorder the terms: - 7.7 + 17 + 21.5x + - 12.6x = 0 Combine like terms: - 7.7 + 17 = 9.3 9.3 + 21.5x + - 12.6x = 0 Combine like terms: 21.5x + - 12.6x = 8.9x 9.3 + 8.9x = 0 Solving 9.3 + 8.9x = 0 Solving for variable 'x'. Move all terms containing x to the left, all other terms to the right. Add '-9.3' to each side of the equation. 9.3 + - 9.3 + 8.9x = 0 + - 9.3 Combine like terms: 9.3 + - 9.3 = 0.0 0.0 + 8.9x = 0 + - 9.3 8.9x = 0 + - 9.3 Combine like terms: 0 + - 9.3 = - 9.3 8.9x = - 9.3 Divide each side by '8.9'. x = - 1.04494382 Simplifying x = - 1.04494382

I believe that the answer would be 26. First, put 26 for x and subtract 8.9 from 26 s 26 - 8.9 = 17.1. Next, you will subtract - 4.5 from 17.1 which equals 12.6. So 26 is your answer.
