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
