Answer:
x=-4
Step-by-step explanation:
1.4x +2.6x = -16
combine like terms (numbers with numbers, and numbers with variables together)
4x = -16
get x by itself (isolation)
x = -4
Answer:
[tex]x=-4[/tex]
Step-by-step explanation:
Start with:
[tex]1.4x+2.6x=-16[/tex]
Combine like terms:
[tex]4x=-16[/tex]
Divide both sides of the equation by the coefficient of [tex]x[/tex], which is [tex]4[/tex]:
[tex]x=-4[/tex]
