The value of x in the given equation
-20.5x+16.35x -0.1245 = 0\\ is 0.03

Explanation:

The given equation is that
-20.5x+16.35x -0.1245 = 0\\

The steps to be followed to solve the equation are :

Add the like terms together to reduce the equation in a simplified form.

Here, there are two x terms and they must be reduced to a single term.

For this, add the both terms together so that the equation is simplified into one x term and a constant term.


(-20.5x+16.35x) - 0.1245 = 0


4.15x-0.1245 = 0

To eliminate the constant term on the left side of the equation, add 0.1245 on both sides.


4.15x -0.1245+0.1245 = 0.1245


4.15x = 0.1245

Now, the equation is further simplified by dividing 4.15 on both sides,


4.15x / 4.15 = 0.1245/4.15


x = 0.03

Therefore, the value of x is 0.03
