[tex]\mathsf{2.3(x - 2) = 15}[/tex]
[tex]\mathsf{2.3(x) + 2.3(-2) = 15}[/tex]
[tex]\mathsf{2.3x - 4.6 = 15}[/tex]
[tex]\large\textsf{ADD 4.6 to BOTH SIDES}[/tex]
[tex]\mathsf{2.3x - 4.6 + 4.6 = 15 + 4.6}[/tex]
[tex]\large\textsf{CANCEL out: -4.6 + 4.6 because it gives the number 0}[/tex]
[tex]\large\textsf{KEEP: 15 + 4.6 because that helps solve find the x-value}[/tex]
[tex]\mathsf{15 + 4.6 = \boxed{\bf 19.6}}[/tex]
[tex]\large\textsf{NEW EQUATION: 2.3x = 19.6}[/tex]
[tex]\large\textsf{DIVIDE 2.3 to BOTH SIDES}[/tex]
[tex]\mathsf{\dfrac{2.3x}{2.3}=\dfrac{19.6}{2.3}}[/tex]
[tex]\large\textsf{CANCEL out: }\mathsf{\dfrac{2.3}{2.3}}\large\textsf{ because that gives you 1}[/tex]
[tex]\large\textsf{KEEP: }\mathsf{\dfrac{19.6}{2.3}}\large\textsf{ because that gives you the value of x}[/tex]
[tex]\mathsf{\dfrac{19.6}{2.3}= \boxed{\bf x}}[/tex]
