Answer the following questions CORRECTLY I will know if this is wrong. I WILL REPORT ANY INCORRECT ANSWERS!
Criteria for getting brainliest and not getting reported:
- And make sure not to post random answers points are taken away when you are reported so don't think about answering it if you want only just want points to move up.
- PLEASE provide work or explanation if you can't provide work. You don't have to do both if you did already.

Answer by JKismyhusbandbae:

[tex]\mathrm{Expand\:}\left(-1.2x+9.8\right):\quad -1.2x+9.8\\2.3x+2.8=-1.2x+9.8\\\mathrm{Subtract\:}2.8\mathrm{\:from\:both\:sides}\\2.3x+2.8-2.8=-1.2x+9.8-2.8\\\mathrm{Simplify}\\2.3x=-1.2x+7\\\mathrm{Add\:}1.2x\mathrm{\:to\:both\:sides}\\2.3x+1.2x=-1.2x+7+1.2x\\Simplify\\3.5x=7\\\mathrm{Divide\:both\:sides\:by\:}3.5\\\frac{3.5x}{3.5}=\frac{7}{3.5}\\\mathrm{Simplify}\\x=2[/tex]

2.3x+2.8=−1.2x+9.8

x=2

Multiply both sides by 10:

2.3x x 10+2.8 x 10=-1.2x 10+9.8 x10

Refine:

23x +28=-12x+98

Subtract by 28:

23x + 28-28=-12x+98-28

Add 12x to both sides:

23x+12x=-12x+70+12x

Simplify:

35x=70

Divide by 35:

35x/35=70/35

Simplify:

x=2

Hope this helped!
