Question

How do you solve `x+61.8=150`?

Answer 1

`x = 88.2`

Explanation:

To solve this problem all that needs to be done is subtract `color(red)(61.8)` from each side of the equation to isolate `x` and keep the equation balanced:

`x + 61.8 - color(red)(61.8) = 150 - color(red)(61.8)`

`x + 0 = 88.2`

`x = 88.2`
