Question

0.3 ( 4 - x) = x-1.4

Answer 1

x=2

Explanation:

0.3(4-x)=x-1.4

1.2-0.3x=x-1.4

1.2-0.3x-x=-1.4

1.2-1.3x=-1.4

1.3x=1.2-(-1.4)

1.3x=1.2+1.4

1.3x=2.6

x=2.6/1.3

x=2

Answer 2

Explanation:

.3 (4 - x) = x- 1.4

distribute.3 to 4 and -x

1.2 -.3x = x- 1.4

+.3x +.3x

1.2 = 1.3x -1.4

+1.4 +1.4

2.6 = 1.3x divide

/1.3 /1.3

2 = x put x to the right side because teachers like that

x = 2
