You can put this solution on YOUR website!
-0.36 - 1.05x = 9.2 solve
\n" ); document.write( ":
\n" ); document.write( "Get rid of the decimals, multiply equation by 100
\n" ); document.write( "-36 - 105x = 920
\n" ); document.write( ":
\n" ); document.write( "Add 36 to each side:
\n" ); document.write( "-105x = 920 + 36
\n" ); document.write( ":
\n" ); document.write( "-105x = 956
\n" ); document.write( ":
\n" ); document.write( "x = $\"956%2F%28-105%29\"$
\n" ); document.write( ":
\n" ); document.write( "x ~ -9.1
