Solve the two-step equation. - 0.45x + 0.33 = - 0.66 What is the solution? x = - 2.2 x = - 1.4 x = 1.4 x = 2.2

-0.45x + 0.33 = - 0.66

-0.45x = - 0.99

x = 0.99/0.45 = 2.2

x = 2.2

Step-by-step explanation:

-0.45x + 0.33 = - 0.66

1) - 0.45x + 0.33 = - 0.66

- 0.33 - 0.33

You have to get the variable on one side of the equation by itself, so you move over the 0.33.

* The 0.33 cancels out because of the positive and negative being combined.*

-0.45x = -.99

2) - 0.45x = - 0.99

Now you divide - 0.45 by - 0.99 to get the variable x by itself.

3) - 0.45 divided by - 0.99 is positive 2.2.

4) x = 2.2
