Question

How can I solve this equation X-5=0.1(x+5)

Answer 1

X=6.1

Explanation:

x-5=0.1(x+5)

x-5=0.1x+0.5 (distribute 0.1)

x=0.1x+0.5+5 (add 5 to each side)

x-0.1x=5.5 (subtract 0.1x from each side)

0.9x=5.5 (combine like terms)

x=5.5/0.9 (divide by 0.9 on both sides)

x=6.1 (simplify)

Answer 2

6.11
