Solve -4.2x+31.5=-65.1-31.5-31.5

$$- 4.2 x + 31.5 = - 65.1 - 31.5 - 31.5$$

Solve for x

$$x=38$$

Steps for Solving Linear Equation

Subtract 31.5 from -65.1 to get -96.6.

$$-4.2x+31.5=-96.6-31.5$$

Subtract 31.5 from -96.6 to get -128.1.

$$-4.2x+31.5=-128.1$$

Subtract 31.5 from both sides.

$$-4.2x=-128.1-31.5$$

Subtract 31.5 from -128.1 to get -159.6.

$$-4.2x=-159.6$$

Divide both sides by -4.2.

$$x=\frac{-159.6}{-4.2}$$

Expand \frac{-159.6}{-4.2} by multiplying both numerator and the denominator by 10.

$$x=\frac{-1596}{-42}$$

Divide -1596 by -42 to get 38.

$$x=38$$
