First let’s convert the mixed numbers to improper fractions 2 1/4 =9/4
Then u get 4(X-9/4) =-3.7
Now your gonna divide both sides by four
4(X-9/4) over 4 = -3.7 over 4
4/4 =1 …X=-9/4
-3.7/4 = -0.925
Now you’re going to add 9/4 to each side
X-9/4+9/4=-0.925 +9/4
-9/4 + 9/4 =0 (X)
Now you have just -0.925 and nine fourths
I converted 9/4 —> 2.25
Then u still have -0.925
So add 2.25+-0.925 u get ur X which is 1.325 (this is ur answer)
