Solve the linear equation: 3.4 + 2(9.7 – 4.8x) = 61.2 What are the possible steps involved in solving this equation? Check all that apply. Add 3.4 and 2. Distribute 2 to 9.7 and −4.8x. Combine 3.4 and 19.4. Divide both sides by 22.8. Subtract 22.8 from both sides. Divide both sides by −9.6.
The answers for the exercise shown above are the second option, the third option, the fifth option and the sixth option, which are:  2) Distribute 2 to 9.7 and −4.8x.  3) Combine 3.4 and 19.4.  5) Substract 22.8 from both sides.  6) Divide both sides by −9.6  The steps are shown below:  3.4+2(9.7-4.8x)=61.2  3.4+19.4-9.6x=61.2  22.8-9.6x=61.2  228-22.8-9.6x=61.2-22.8  -9.6x=38.4  -9.6x/-9.6=38.4/-9.6  x=-4
