multi-step linear equations help.?

Question

Answer this question : 2.1x - 4=4.1x +17 - 0.5 and tell me how you got your answer.

thank you and jesus is coming!!!
p.s.can you give me a link to a web site that can help with muitl-step equations?

Answer 1

2.1x - 4 = 4.1x + 17 - .5
Subtract 17 - .5
2.1x -4 = 4.1 x + 16.5
Add 4 to both sides
2.1x = 4.1x = 20.5
subtract 4.1x from both sides
-2x = 20.5
divide by -2
x=- 10 1/4

Answer 2

2.1x - 4=4.1x +17 - 0.5

Get the one with the 'x' on one side and constants on the other
-4 -17+.5 = 4.1x -2.1x
-21 + .5 = 2 x
-20.5 =2x
x = -10.25

Answer 3

2.1x - 4 = 4.1x + 17 - 0.5

2.1x - 4 = 4.1x + 16.5

Transpose - 2.1x on both sides of the equation

2.1x - 4 - 2.1x = 4.1x + 16.5 - 2.1x

- 4 = 2x + 16.5

Transpose - 16.5 on both sides of the equation

- 4 - 16.5 = 2x + 16.5 - 16.5

- 20.5 = 2x

Divide 2 on both sides of the equation

- 20.5 / 2 = 2x / 2

- 20.5 / 2 = x

- 10.25 = x

- - - - - - - - -

Keep up you faith

Answer 4

a million. x+3/8 = a million/4 subtract 3/8 from the two factors of the eq x=2/8-3/8 simplify to get -a million/8 2. a million 7/sixteen + s = 9/8 subtract a million 7/sixteen from the two factors answer is -5/sixteen 3. 17 8/9 = d + (-2 5/6) upload 2 5/6 to the two factors answer is 20 7/9
