Answer:
x=-0.4
Step-by-step explanation:
We have the equation:
[tex]-9x+0.4=4[/tex]
First, the operation to move all the constants to the right side is subtraction since we would have to subtract 0.4 from each side, let's see this:
[tex]-9x+0.4=4\\-9x+0.4-0.4=4-0.4\\-9x=3.6[/tex]
Now, we have all the constants on the right side of the equation.
Now, the operation we need to perform to isolate the variable is division (since the x has a -9 that is being multiplied by x) we need to do the opposite operation:
[tex]-9x=3.6\\\frac{-9x}{-9} =\frac{3.6}{-9} \\x=-0.4[/tex]
Thus, the answer to this equation is x= -0.4
