Question

Round to the nearest hundredth O(5x + 2) = 2(9x - 6) Type your answer...​

Answer 1

Solving the expression and round to the nearest hundredth

`0(5x+2)=2(9x-6)` we get
`\mathbf{x=0.67}`

Explanation:

We need to solve the expression and round to the nearest hundredth

`0(5x+2)=2(9x-6)`

Solving:

`0(5x+2)=2(9x-6)`

We know that multiplying anything by zero we get zero

`0=2(9x-6)`

Switching sides

`2(9x-6)=0`

Multiplying 2 with terms inside the bracket

`18x-12=0`

Adding 12 on both sides

`18x-12+12=0+12\\18x=12`

Divide both sides by 18

`(18x)/(18)=(12)/(18)\\x=0.666`

Rounding to nearest hundredth we get:

`x=0.67`

So, solving the expression and round to the nearest hundredth

`0(5x+2)=2(9x-6)` we get
`\mathbf{x=0.67}`
