Question

Solve: 6 – 0.2x = 2 (6 – 0.6x) A = 0 B. 2 = 18 C. I = 6 . D. There are infinitely many solutions.​

Answer 1

• 6-0.2x=2(6-0.6x)
• 6-0.2x=12-1.2x
• -0.2x+1.2x=12-6
• (1.2-0.2)x=6
• x=6

Answer 2

x=6

Explanation:

6 – 0.2x = 2 (6 – 0.6x)

Distribute

6 – 0.2x = 12 – 1.2x

Add 1.2x to each side

6 – 0.2x+1.2x = 12 – 1.2x+1.2x

6 +x = 12

Subtract 6 from each side

6+x-6 = 12 –6

x = 6
