Answer: x - 1.5
4x – 97 + 12 – x = -80.5
3 x - 85 = -80.5
3 x - 85 +85 = -80.5 + 85
3x = -80.5 + 85
3x = 4.5
x = 1.5
Step-by-step explanation: hope this helps
Answer:
x=1.5
Step-by-step explanation:
4x-97+12-x=-80.5
Combine like terms
-97+12=-85
4x-x=3x
now you have 3x-85=-80.5
add 85 to both sides and now you have
3x=4.5
Now divide 3 to both sides and you get x=1.5
