I need help to solve this math problem.
-7.4=-3.7+x=
The problem is not clear, with two equal signs.
If the last equal sign is to be ignored, you have
-7.4 = -3.7 + x
Add 3.7 to both sides of the equal sign to get
3.7 - 7.4 = 3.7 - 3.7 + x
-3.7 = x
x = -3.7
To solve the math problem -7.4 = -3.7 + x, you need to isolate the variable x. This can be done by performing inverse operations.
First, let's start by getting rid of the -3.7 on the right side of the equation. Since -3.7 is added to x, you can subtract -3.7 from both sides of the equation to maintain its balance.
-7.4 - (-3.7) = -3.7 + x - (-3.7)
Simplifying the above equation:
-7.4 + 3.7 = -3.7 + x + 3.7
Next, perform the addition to simplify further:
-3.7 = x
The solution to the equation is x = -3.7.
