Thanks for you help! This question is from textbook Algebra I
You can put this solution on YOUR website! 16(x+2)=70.4
Divide each term in the equation by 16.
(16(x+2))/(16)=(70.4)/(16)
Simplify the left-hand side of the equation by canceling the common terms.
x+2=(70.4)/(16)
Divide 70.4 by 16 to get 4.4.
x+2=4.4
Since 2 does not contain the variable to solve for, move it to the right-hand side of the equation by subtracting 2 from both sides.
x=-2+4.4
Add 4.4 to -2 to get 2.4.
x=2.4
