Question

What is the value of x in the equation 0.2(x + 1) + 0.5x = –0.3(x – 4)?

Answer 1

I hope this helps you



0,2x+0,2+0,5x= -0,3x+1,2


0,7x+0,3x=1,2-0,2


x=1

Answer 2

The value of the x is 1 .

Explanation:

As given the expression in the question.

0.2(x + 1) + 0.5x = –0.3(x – 4)

Now first open the bracket

0.2x + 0.2 + 0.5x = –0.3x – 4 × -0.3

0.2x + 0.2 + 0.5x = –0.3x + 1.2

0.2x + 0.5x + 0.3x = 1.2 - 0.2

1.0x = 1.0

`x = (1.0)/(1.0)`

x = 1

Therefore the value of the x is 1 .
