Solve the linear equation:
3.4 + 2(9.7 – 4.8x) = 61.2
what are the possible steps involved in solving this equation? check all that apply.
add 3.4 and 2.
distribute 2 to 9.7 and −4.8x.
combine 3.4 and 19.4.
divide both sides by 22.8.
subtract 22.8 from both sides.
divide both sides by −9.6.

1. First subtract 3.4 from both sides:

3.4 + 2(9.7 – 4.8x) = 61.2

2(9.7 – 4.8x) =61.2-3.4
2(9.7 – 4.8x) =27.8

2. Distribute 2 to 9.7 and -4.8x   (the second step applies):

19.4-9.6x=27.8

3. subtract 19.4 from both sides: 

-9.6x=27.8-19.4
-9.6x=8.4

4. Divide both sides by -9.6 (this step also applies):

x=8.4/-9.6=-1.2

Just a question- could you organize the data better? i just cannot tell which number are for which bakery. i will be happy to answer this question if you could do this for me! : )
