Question

How does x = 0.7x + 24 equal 80?

Answer 1

Answer: x = 80

Explanation:

80 - 24 = 56

56 divided by 0.7 = 80

Answer 2

x=0.7x+24

We move all terms to the left:

x-(0.7x+24)=0

We get rid of parentheses

x-0.7x-24=0

We add all the numbers together, and all the variables

0.3x-24=0

We move all terms containing x to the left, all other terms to the right

0.3x=24

x=24/0.3

x=80

And that's how you get 80
