Check out what's different about this guy:

6x + 2.59 = 7.3

We go for the max and multiply both sides by 100.  << two zeros

100 ( 6x + 2.59 ) = 100 ( 7.3 )  which gives  600x + 259 = 730

I'll let you finish it off.


TRY IT:

Solve         3.12x + 8 = 7.06 - 3.5x 

 

Solve         5 - 6.124x = 3.8
