Linear Equations

Step 1: Move the -terms to one side

Subtract from both sides to get all the -terms on the right:

This simplifies to:

Step 2: Move the constant to the other side

Add 8 to both sides to get the numbers on the left:

This simplifies to:

Step 3: Solve for

Divide both sides by 5 to find :

So, , which is 2.2.
