Question

solve for x.\
$x - 7.24 = 2.52$\
$x = \square$

Explanation:

Step1: Isolate x by adding 7.24

Add 7.24 to both sides of the equation to cancel the -7.24 on the left.
$x - 7.24 + 7.24 = 2.52 + 7.24$

Step2: Calculate the sum

Compute the right-hand side to find x.
$x = 2.52 + 7.24$

Answer:

$x = 9.76$
