Ineed some ! : 0 solve for x. -4.5(x - 8.9) = 12.6

−4.5(x−8.9)=12.6

Step 1: Simplify both sides of the equation.−4.5(x−8.9)=12.6(−4.5)(x)+(−4.5)(−8.9)=12.6

(Distribute)−4.5x+40.05=12.6

Step 2: Subtract 40.05 from both sides.−4.5x+40.05−40.05=12.6−40.05−4.5x=−27.45

Step 3: Divide both sides by -4.5.−4.5x−4.5=−27.45−4.5
x=6.1

Ifound this on google “that means that the graph of a function with direct variation has these features: it is a straight line: because the slope is the ratio y/x = k. it passes through the origin (0,0): because y = kx = k (0) = 0.” i hope this you for what your looking for

Idon’t know what the answer is i wish i could
