x+0.054=-1.802;x

my answer sheet say 1.856 can you explain?

I don't know what the ";x" means. However...

x + .054 = -1.802

Subtract .054 from both sides.

x = -1.856

Did you forget the negative sign?

x+0.054=-1.802;x=

1.748

To solve the equation x + 0.054 = -1.802, you can follow these steps:

Step 1: Move the constant term (0.054) to the right side of the equation by subtracting it from both sides:
x = -1.802 - 0.054

Step 2: Simplify the arithmetic on the right side:
x = -1.856

So, the solution to the equation x + 0.054 = -1.802 is x = -1.856.
