Solving an Equation with Addition

The equation shown in the image is: x + (-47.9) = -34.6 To solve for x, you need to move -47.9 to the other side of the equation by adding 47.9 to both sides. Here are the steps: 1. Add 47.9 to both sides of the equation to isolate x on one side: x + (-47.9) + 47.9 = -34.6 + 47.9 2. The -47.9 and +47.9 on the left side will cancel each other out, leaving you with: x = -34.6 + 47.9 3. Now, you simply perform the addition on the right side: x = 13.3 So, the value of x is 13.3.
