a)

Subtract 0.4 from both side.

-9x +0.4 = 4

-9x + 0.4 - 0.4 = 4 - 0.4

-9x = 3.6

b)

divide by -9 both side

-9x/-9 = 3.6/-9

x = -0.4

c) x = - 0.4

The steps needed to solve the given equation is required.

Adding the opposite value of the constant to both sides.

Divide both sides by the coefficient of the variable.

The solution to the equation is [tex]x=-0.4[/tex]

The given equation is

[tex]-9x+0.4=4[/tex]

In order to solve this we first move constants to the side opposite of the variable.

This is done by adding the opposite value of the constant to both sides.

[tex]-9x+0.4-0.4=4-0.4[/tex]

Here [tex]0.4[/tex] is the constant so we add [tex]-0.4[/tex] to both sides.

[tex]\Rightarrow -9x=3.6[/tex]

Now, we divide both sides by the coefficient of the variable.

[tex]\Rightarrow \dfrac{-9x}{-9}=\dfrac{3.6}{-9}\\\Rightarrow x=-0.4[/tex]

The solution to the equation is [tex]x=-0.4[/tex]
