Question

Álgebra 1 solve
0.1 + 0.008 = 0.06 − 0.172

Answer 1

x = -4.5

Explanation:

Given:

0.1x + 0.008 = 0.06x − 0.172

Collect like terms

0.1x - 0.06x = -0.172 - 0.008

0.04x = - 0.18

x = -0.18/0.04

x = -4.5

Check:

0.1x + 0.008 = 0.06x − 0.172

0.1(-4.5) + 0.008 = 0.06(-4.5) - 0.172

- 0.45 + 0.008 = -0.27 - 0.172

-0.442 = -0.442
