Answer:

0.8

Explanation:

2x + 4.8 = 6.4

2x = 6.4 - 4.8

2x = 1.6

x = 0.8

Answer:

  • x = 0.8

Explanation:

In the question we're given with an equation that is 2 ( x + 2.4 ) = 6.4 . And we're asked to find the solution of the equation that means we have to find the value of x .

Solution : -


\longmapsto \: 2(x + 2.4) = 6.4

Step 1 : Removing parenthesis by multiplying 2 with x and 2.4 :


\longmapsto \: 2x + 4.8 = 6.4

Step 2 : Subtracting 4.8 on both sides :


\longmapsto \: 2x + \cancel{4.8} - \cancel{4.8 }= 6.4 - 4.8

On further calculations :


\longmapsto \:2x = 1.6

Step 3 : Dividing by 2 on both sides :


\longmapsto \: \frac{ \cancel{2}x}{ \cancel{2 }} = (1.6)/(2)

Calculating further :

Here , we have removed decimal from 1.6 . So it'll become 16 and 10 it'll divided by 10


\longmapsto \:x = \cancel { (16)/(2)} * (1)/(10)

Step 4 : Cancelling 16 by 2 :


\longmapsto \:x = (8)/(10)


\longmapsto \: \green{\underline{ \green {\boxed{x = 0.8}}}}

  • Therefore value of x is 0.8 .

Verifying : -

We are verifying our answer by substituting value of x in given equation. So ,

  • 2 ( x + 2.4 ) = 6.4

  • 2 ( 0.8 + 2.4 ) = 6.4

  • 2 ( 3.2 ) = 6.4

  • 6.4 = 6.4

  • L.H.S = R.H.S

  • Hence, Verified .

Therefore, our value for x is correct .
