You can put this solution on YOUR website!
arithmetic sequence has the same difference between consecutive value.
\n" ); document.write( "3.4 - x - x - x = -2.0
\n" ); document.write( "3.4 - 3x = -2.0
\n" ); document.write( "your equation is 3.4 - 3x = -2.0
\n" ); document.write( "add 3x to both sides and add 2.0 to both sides to get:
\n" ); document.write( "5.4 = 3x
\n" ); document.write( "solve for x to get:
\n" ); document.write( "x = 5.4/3 = 1.8
\n" ); document.write( "3.4 - 3x = -2.0 becomes:
\n" ); document.write( "3.4 - 3 * 1.8 = -2 which becomes:
\n" ); document.write( "3.4 - 5.4 = -2 which becomes
\n" ); document.write( "-2 = -2, confirming the value of x is correct.\r
