Answer
x=3
Work Step by Step
We need to get the x alone, so we cancel out the subtraction by adding 3.7 on both sides. This leaves us with the equation 5.3x=15.9. We use division to cancel out multiplication, so we divide both sides by 5.3 to get that x=3. We plug 3 in for x and confirm that our answer is, indeed, correct.
