FIRST OF ALL, YOU NEED TO MULTIPLY YOUR PROBLEM BY THE NUMBERS OUTSIDE OF THE PARENTHESES ON BOTH SIDES. YOU GET THE FOLLOWING : 67.2 - 78.72X = 62.64X - 35.28 ---->>>> NEXT YOU MUST GET YOUR NUMBERS ON ONE SIDE AND YOUR LETTERS ON THE OTHER. I USUALLY PREFER LETTERS ON THE LEFT AND NUMBERS ON THE RIGHT. 1ST SUBTRACT 62.64X FROM BOTH SIDES. NOW YOU HAVE : 67.2 - 141.36X = -35.28 >>>>> NEXT, YOU SUBTRACT 67.2 FROM BOTH SIDES. NOW YOU HAVE : -141.36X = -102.48 >>>>>> NEXT YOU DIVIDE BOTH SIDES BY -141.36 >>>>> NOW YOU HAVE YOUR ANSWER >>>>>> X = 0.7249575 IF YOU HAVE ANY OTHER ?'S, E MAIL ME AT : cats7051@yahoo.com YOUR FRIEND, TERRY
