 −2.3(x−1.2)=−9.66  remove the brackets by multiplying
-2.3x+2.76=-9.66 collect the like terms 
-2.3x=-9.66-2.76
-2.3x=-12.42 divide both sides by -2.3 to find x
x=5.4

Answer: 5.4

Step-by-step explanation:

The given equation : \(-2.3(x-1.2)=-9.66\)

To solve the above equation for x , first we divide both sides by -2.3 , we get

\(\dfrac{-2.3(x-1.2)}{-2.3}=\dfrac{-9.66}{-2.3}\)

\((x-1.2)=4.2\)

Now, we are adding 1.2 on both the sides of the equation , we get

\(x-1.2+1.2=4.2+1.2\)

\(\Rightarrow x=5.4\)

Therefore , the value of x = 5.4
