Bot To solve for x, we can simplify the left side of the equation first:
6.8x - (-3x+7.5) + 9 = 2x - 2.4
Distribute the negative sign:
6.8x + 3x - 7.5 + 9 = 2x - 2.4
Combine like terms on both sides:
9.8x + 1.5 = 2x - 2.4
Subtract 2x from both sides:
7.8x + 1.5 = -2.4
Subtract 1.5 from both sides:
7.8x = -3.9
Divide both sides by 7.8:
x = -0.5
Therefore, the solution for x is -0.5.
