Answer:

x=60

Explanation:

Let's solve your equation step-by-step.

8.4+0.18x=0.32x

Step 1: Simplify both sides of the equation.

0.18x+8.4=0.32x

Step 2: Subtract 0.32x from both sides.

0.18x+8.4−0.32x=0.32x−0.32x

−0.14x+8.4=0

Step 3: Subtract 8.4 from both sides.

−0.14x+8.4−8.4=0−8.4

−0.14x=−8.4

Step 4: Divide both sides by -0.14.

−0.14x

−0.14

=

−8.4

−0.14

x=60

Answer:

x = 60

Explanation:

to solve this simple expression, you will collect the like terms and then evaluate for the value of x

solution

8.4 + 0.18x =0.32x

8.4 = 0.32x - 0.18x

8.4 = 0.14x

divide both side by the coefficient of x

8.4/0.14 = 0.14x/0.14

60 = x

x = 60

to check if the answer is correct put the value of x = 60 into the question and check if the right handside is equal to the left handside.

8.4 + 0.18x =0.32x

8.4 + 0.18 × 60 = 0.32 × 60

8.4 + 10.8 = 19.2

19.2 = 19.2................................................................................ proved
