Question

The equation 1.6x − 2.2 = 1.4x can be transformed to form which of the following expressions? 3.0x = 2.2 0.2x = −2.2 3.0x = −2.2 0.2x = 2.2

Answer 1

1.6x - 2.2 = 1.4x
1.6x - 1.4x = 2.2
0.2x = 2.2

Answer 2

Option 4th is correct

`0.2x =2.2`

Explanation:

Given the equation:

`1.6x-2.2=1.4x`

Add 2.2 to both sides we have;

`1.6x=1.4x+2.2`

Subtract 1.4x from both sides we have;

`1.6x-1.4x=1.4x+2.2-1.4x`

Simplify:

`0.2x =2.2`

Therefore, The equation 1.6x − 2.2 = 1.4x can be transformed to form
`0.2x =2.2`
