what should be the first step in solving the equation 1.2 W -3.8 equals 12.4

Respuesta :

1.2W - 3.8 = 12.4
1.2W = 12.4 + 3.8
1.2W = 16.2
W = 16.2 ÷ 1.2
W = 13.5

Answer:

Step 1 would be to add 3.8 on both sides.

Step-by-step explanation:

The Equation mentioned in the question is a simple Algebra Equation. We need to solve for W. To do so, we need to get the variable W alone on one side.

Initial Equation:  [tex]1.2W-3.8 = 12.4[/tex]

Step 1: Add 3.8 on both sides. [tex]1.2W = 16.2[/tex]

Step 2: Divide 1.2 on both sides. [tex]W = 13.5[/tex]

This gives us the answer of W = 13.5.
