Hi thanks for helping me my question is simple but could you check my answer and help me explain it?

3.3 = x - 4.6
three point three equals x minus four point six.

Thanks :)

I think that its 7.9

the answers are /A 0.3 /B 1.3 /C 7.9 /D 7.3

Yes, 7.9

thanks ms.sue

You're welcome.

Of course! Let's go through solving the equation step by step:

1. Start with the equation: 3.3 = x - 4.6.

2. To isolate the variable "x" on one side of the equation, we need to get rid of the constant term (-4.6) from the right side.

3. Add 4.6 to both sides of the equation to cancel out the -4.6 term on the right side:

3.3 + 4.6 = x - 4.6 + 4.6

This simplifies to:

7.9 = x

4. Therefore, the value of "x" that satisfies the original equation is 7.9. You can check this by substituting the value of "x" back into the equation:

3.3 = 7.9 - 4.6

Simplifying further:

3.3 = 3.3

Since both sides are equal, the solution is confirmed.

So, your answer is correct! The value of "x" that makes the equation true is x = 7.9.
