Solve the equation to find the value of x.

8.35x-1.5=71.98

X=8.8

step by step:

add 1.5 to both sides

you'd be left with 8.35x=73.48

divide 8.35 by both sides

you'd be left with x=8.8

Step-by-step explanation:

Move the constant (that is - 1. 5in this case to the other side of the equation.

Add the 1.5 to the 71. 58 at the right side of the equation.

Solve for x by dividing the coefficient of x (ie. 8.35 in this case) by the answer at the right side of the equation.

That's it!
