Solve 2.3x-2(0.7+2x)=3.6-1.7

$$2.3x-2(0.7+2x)=3.6-1.7$$

Solve for x

$$x = -\frac{33}{17} = -1\frac{16}{17} \approx -1.941176471$$

Steps for Solving Linear Equation

Use the distributive property to multiply -2 by 0.7+2x.

$$2.3x-1.4-4x=3.6-1.7$$

Combine 2.3x and -4x to get -1.7x.

$$-1.7x-1.4=3.6-1.7$$

Subtract 1.7 from 3.6 to get 1.9.

$$-1.7x-1.4=1.9$$

Add 1.4 to both sides.

$$-1.7x=1.9+1.4$$

Add 1.9 and 1.4 to get 3.3.

$$-1.7x=3.3$$

Divide both sides by -1.7.

$$x=\frac{3.3}{-1.7}$$

Expand \frac{3.3}{-1.7} by multiplying both numerator and the denominator by 10.

$$x=\frac{33}{-17}$$

Fraction \frac{33}{-17} can be rewritten as -\frac{33}{17} by extracting the negative sign.

$$x=-\frac{33}{17}$$
