Question

solve the equation and check your solution. -4.9x = -9.8 x = \square

Explanation:

Step1: Isolate x by dividing both sides by -4.9

$\frac{-4.9x}{-4.9} = \frac{-9.8}{-4.9}$

Step2: Simplify both sides

$x = 2$

Step3: Verify solution (substitute x=2)

$-4.9(2) = -9.8$
$-9.8 = -9.8$

Answer:

$x=2$
