Question

Solve 0.005x - 0.03 = 0.01

Answer 1

Given the equation:

`0.005x-0.03=0.01​`

You need to solve for "x" in order to find its value:

1. Apply the Addition Property of Equality by adding 0.03 to both sides of the equation:

`\begin{gathered} 0.005x-0.03+(0.03)=0.01​+(0.03) \\ 0.005x=0.04 \end{gathered}`

2. Apply the Division Property of Equality by dividing both sides of the equation by 0.005:

`\begin{gathered} (0.005x)/(0.005)=(0.04)/(0.005) \\ \\ x=8 \end{gathered}`

Hence, the answer is:

`x=8`
