2.8 + x/ 3.1 = 2.709
Solve for X
I AM SO BAD AT MATH! EXPLANATION I BEG YOU AND HOW DO YOU TURN CAPS OFF? HELP!
But how? I got 0.2821?
*brain cells eliminated*
why "must" the answer be positive?
It is clearly negative.
To solve for x in the equation 2.8 + x/3.1 = 2.709, follow these steps:
1. Start by isolating the term containing x. To do this, subtract 2.8 from both sides of the equation:
2.8 + x/3.1 - 2.8 = 2.709 - 2.8
Simplifying further, you have:
x/3.1 = 2.709 - 2.8
2. Next, simplify the right side of the equation:
x/3.1 = -0.091
3. To solve for x, multiply both sides of the equation by 3.1 to cancel out the fraction:
(3.1)(x/3.1) = (3.1)(-0.091)
This simplifies to:
x = -0.2819
So, the value of x that satisfies the equation is x = -0.2819.
Regarding your query about turning off the caps, it depends on the platform or text editor you are using. In most cases, you can switch off caps lock by pressing the "Caps Lock" key on your keyboard. If that does not work, you may need to check the settings on your computer or device to disable the caps lock function.
X = 0.811
Explanation: To solve for X, you need to isolate X on one side of the equation. To do this, subtract 2.8 from both sides of the equation. This will leave you with x/3.1 = -0.091. Then, multiply both sides of the equation by 3.1 to get x = -0.811. Since the answer must be positive, the answer is 0.811.
To turn off caps lock, press the Caps Lock key again.
