Bot GPT 3.5 To solve for x in the equation 5.239(x+12.74)=9.4302, follow these steps:
1. Begin by simplifying both sides of the equation:
5.239(x+12.74) = 9.4302
Distribute the 5.239:
5.239x + (5.239)(12.74) = 9.4302
5.239x + 66.77036 = 9.4302
2. Next, isolate the x term by subtracting 66.77036 from both sides of the equation:
5.239x + 66.77036 - 66.77036 = 9.4302 - 66.77036
5.239x = -57.34016
3. Finally, solve for x by dividing both sides of the equation by 5.239:
(5.239x) / 5.239 = (-57.34016) / 5.239
x = -10.949
