Question

0.7x+6=0.3(4x+6)−2x

Answer 1

Answer:
`x=-2.8`

Explanation:

Given the following equation:

`0.7x+6=0.3(4x+6)-2x`

You can follow these steps in order to solve for "x" and find its value:

1. Apply Distributive property on the right side of the equation:

`0.7x+6=0.3(4x+6)-2x\\\\0.7x+6=1.2x+1.8-2x`

2. Subract
`0.7x` from both sides and add the like terms:

`0.7x+6-(0.7x)=1.2x+1.8-2x-(0.7x)\\\\6=-1.5x+1.8`

3. Subtract 1.8 from both sides:

`6-(1.8)=-1.5x+1.8-(1.8)\\\\4.2=-1.5x`

4. Finally, divide both side of the equation by -1.5:

`(4.2)/(-1.5)=(-1.5x)/(-1.5)\\\\x=-2.8`
