Example Question #71 : How To Solve Two Step Equations
Solve for .
Subtract from both sides. Since we are essentially adding two negative numbers, we will treat the right side of the equation as an addition problem and put a negative sign afterwards. Remember to line up all the decimal points together.
Divide both sides by .
When we divide a negative number by a positive number the answer is always negative. Since we are dealing with decimals, we can make it easier to divide by shifting the decimal point by one place on the top and bottom of the division bar.
We now have:
