-1.52 + X= 4.19 solve for x

5.71

Step-by-step explanation:

-1.52 + x = 4.19

Add 1.52 to both sides.

x = 5.71

x=5.71

Step-by-step explanation:

To solve the equation, we want to find out what x is. In order to do this, we have to get x by itself. Perform the opposite of what is being done to the equation. Keep in mind, everything done to one side, has to be done to the other.

-1.52+x=4.19

1.52 is being subtracted from x (-1.52). The opposite of subtraction is addition. Add 1.52 to both sides (+1.52) -1.52 and +1.52 will cancel out, and leave x by itself.

-1.52+1.52+x=4.19+1.52

x=4.19+1.52

x=5.71

If we want to check our answer, substitute 5.71 for x in the original equation.

-1.52+x=4.91

-1.52+5.71=4.91

4.91=4.91

This is true, so we know that 5.71 is the correct answer.
