Question

$$3.9-(x-1.2)=6.3$$

Solve for x

$x=-1.2$

Steps for Solving Linear Equation

To find the opposite of $x-1.2$, find the opposite of each term.

$$3.9-x-\left(-1.2\right)=6.3$$

The opposite of $-1.2$ is $1.2$.

$$3.9-x+1.2=6.3$$

Add $3.9$ and $1.2$ to get $5.1$.

$$5.1-x=6.3$$

Subtract $5.1$ from both sides.

$$-x=6.3-5.1$$

Subtract $5.1$ from $6.3$ to get $1.2$.

$$-x=1.2$$

Multiply both sides by $-1$.

$$x=-1.2$$
