Question 117195
You are correct. You can check your answer by plugging in x=7.59 into the original equation and then simplify. If both sides are equal, then the answer is verified


Check:



{{{3(x-0.87) -2x = 4.98}}}Start with the given equation


{{{3(7.59-0.87) -2(7.59) = 4.98}}} Plug in x=7.59



{{{3(6.72) -2(7.59) = 4.98}}} Subtract



{{{20.16 -15.18 = 4.98}}} Multiply



{{{4.98=4.98}}} Subtract. Since the two sides of the equation are equal, this verifies our answer.
