Can someone explain how to get the answer to this? i keep getting 8.23 when the answer should be 18.24.. the equation is 8.85-71.4÷(-5.1-2.5)

First step you would do is rewrite the equation as

8.85- 71.4-5.1-2.5. From there, you would subtract 2.5 from -5.1, getting -7.6. The equation would now be: 8.85-71.4/-7.6. Next, you would divide 71.4 by -7.6. That would be − 9.394, (rounded two the nearest hundredth would be -9.39.). Then, you would multiply -9.39 by -1, which makes it 9.39. After that, the problem would be 8.85+9.39, which equals 18.24.

If you're more of a visual learner, here's it drawn out! Hope this helps! Please mark brainliest! Thank you v much! :)

x= -3

step-by-step explanation:

step 1: simplify brackets

4 - x - 1 = 6

step 2: simpilfy

3 - x = 6

step 3: subtract 3 from both sides

-x = 6 - 3

step 4: simpilfy 6 - 3

-x = 3

step 5: multiply both sides by -1

x = -3

you answer is a
