Question

2(0.5× -0.6)=0.6×
please can you write how you get it

Answer 1

x= -2

Explanation:

2(0.5× -0.6) = 0.6X

(1× -1.2) = 0.6X

-1.2=0.6X

X= -1.2/0.6

X= -2

Answer 2

x=3

Explanation:

Note: I am assuming that the “x” is a variable, and not the multiplication sign. Please correct me if I am wrong.

2(0.5x-0.6)=0.6x

Step 1: Simplify both sides of the equation.

2(0.5x)+2(-0.6)=0.6x - According to Distributive Property

x+-1.2=0.6x

x-1.2=0.6x

Step 2: Subtract 0.6x from both sides.

x-1.2-0.6x=0.6x-0.6x

0.4x-1.2=0

Step 3: Add 1.2 to both sides.

0.4x-1.2+1.2=0+1.2

0.4x=1.2

Step 4: Divide both sides by 0.4

`(0.4x)/(0.4)=(1.2)/(0.4)`

x=3
