Question

Solve for x 2(x-7)=0.2(x+2)+5.11

Answer 1

Explanation:

You start off by rewriting the equation:

`2(x-7)=0.2(x+2)+5.11\\`

Then you have to factor:

`2x-14=0.2x+0.4+5.11`

Then you subtract the 0.2x:

`1.8x-14=0.4+5.11`

Add the positives on the right:

`1.8x-14=5.51`

Add 14:

`1.8x=19.51`

Divide:

`x=10.84`

You get x is approximately equal to 10.84
