Answer :
[tex]6.7 =5.2x+12.3\\\\5.2x =6.7-12.3\\\\5.2x= -5.6 \ \ /\cdot 10\\\\52x=-56\ \ /:52\\ \\x=-\frac{56}{52}\\\\x=-\frac{14}{13}\\\\x=-1\frac{1}{13}[/tex]
6.7 = 5.2x + 12.3
Subtract 12.3 from each side :
-5.6 = 5.2x
Divide each side by 5.2 :
x = -5.6 / 5.2 = -1.0769... (rounded)
=====================================
I've seen the same problem posted here earlier, but
the left side there is 6.7x not 6.7 .
I'm guessing that either that one or this one is copied wrong.
