Question

What is the value of x in the equation –2.4x = 8.4?

Answer 1

2.4x = 8.4.....divide both sides by -2.4
x = 8.4/-2.4
x = - 3.5

Answer 2

Answer:

value of x is, 3.5

Step-by-step explanation:

Division property states that you divide the same number to both sides of an equation.

Given the equation:

$2.4x = 8.4$

Divide both sides by 2.4 we have;

$\frac{2.4x}{2.4} = \frac{8.4}{2.4}$

Simplify:

⇒x = 3.5

Therefore, the value of x is, 3.5
