Question

What is the solution to the equation 0.24(x−10.2)=6 when solving for x ?

Answer 1

`x=35.2`

Explanation:

first we distribute 0.24 to what's in the the parenthesis

`0.24(x)+0.24(-10.2)=6\\0.24x-2.448=6\\`

Add 2.448 on both sides

`0.24x=8.448`

Divide 0.24 on both sides

`x=35.2`

Hope this helps please let me know if you have further questions

Answer 2

x = 35.2

Explanation:

0.24(x − 10.2) = 6

x − 10.2 = 6/0.24

x - 10.2 = 25

x = 35.2
