Solve the following equation. Show all your work
21.3 = x + 5.1 (show your work 5 times)
1. Subtract 5.1 from both sides:
21.3 - 5.1 = x
16.2 = x
2. Rearrange the equation:
x = 16.2
3. Therefore, the solution to the equation is x = 16.2.
4. Check your answer by substituting x back into the original equation:
21.3 = 16.2 + 5.1
21.3 = 21.3
5. Since both sides of the equation are equal, the solution x = 16.2 is verified.
