Solve for x

-4.5 (x-8.9) = 12.6

enter your answer as a decimal

x = 11.7

Step-by-step explanation:

We have the following equation: - 4.5 (x-8.9) = 12.6

First we divide both parts of the equation by - 4.5

Then: (-4.5 (x-8.9)) / -4.5 = 12.6/-4.5

We get: (x-8.9) = 2.8

Then, solving for x:

(x-8.9) = 2.8 - > x = 2.8 + 8.9 = 11.7

The solution is: x = 11.7
