Chapter 4.3, Problem 49STP

To determine

To calculate:To find what value of $x$ makes the equation true

Answer to Problem 49STP

Equation is true for $x=3.77$

Explanation of Solution

Given information:Equation is $5.47-\left(-x\right)=9.24$

Calculation:

Given equation is as follows:

  $5.47-\left(-x\right)=9.24$

In order to find the value of $x$ such that equation is true, one need to solve the equation.

On solving the equation,

  $\begin{array}{l}5.47+x=9.24\\ x=9.24-5.47\\ x=3.77\end{array}$

Hence, equation is true for $x=3.77$

Therefore, correct option is H
