Solve the equation by first clearing the decimals

2.3x+9.2=23

Step 1. To clear the decimals multiply by 10 to both sides of the equation.

Step 2. Subtract 92 from both sides of the equation

Step 3. Divide by 23 to both sides of the equation

I hope the above steps and explanation were helpful.

2.3x+9.2=23
10(2.3x+9.2)=10*23 Multiply both sides of the equation by 10
23x+92=230
23x+92-92=230-92 Subtract 92 from both sides
23x=138
23x/23=138/23 Divide by 23 both sides
x=6 is the solution
