Question

Se the Distributive Property to simplify: 0.5(1.1 - 2x) + 2.4x - 2.10

Answer 1

Distributive property expresses as :

`a(b+c)=ab+ac`

Given expression :

`\begin{gathered} 0.5(1.1-2x)+2.4x-2.10=0 \\ 0.5*1.1-0.5(2x)+2.4x-2.10=0 \\ 0.55-1x+2.4x-2.10=0 \\ 1.4x-1.55=0 \\ 1.4x=1.55 \\ x=(1.55)/(1.4) \\ x=1.107 \end{gathered}`

Answer : x = 1.107
