Given the equation:

2.2X + 2.2 = 1.1

Solve for x.

Solution:

In order to solve for x, we first need to transpose 2.2 to rhe other side of the equation, hence it must be taken to note that in transposing a number, the sign changes.

2.2x + 2.2 = 1.1

2.2x = 1.1 - 2.2

2.2x = -1.1

Divide both sides by 2.2 in order to cancel out 2.2x, leaving behind x.

2.2x/2.2 = -1.1 / 2.2

x= -½

Final answer:

x = -½
