Answer:
2.8867
Step-by-step explanation:
9.8x+17=7.6x-16
We move all terms to the left:
9.8x+17-(7.6x-16)=0
We get rid of parentheses
9.8x-7.6x+16+17=0
We add all the numbers together, and all the variables
2.2x+33=0
We move all terms containing x to the left, all other terms to the right
2.2x=-33
x=-33/2.2
x=-2.8867
