Question

Which steps can be used in order to determine the solution to Negative 1.3 + 4.6 x = 0.3 + 4 x?

Answer 1

x=8/3 OR 2.7

Explanation:

-1.3+4.6x=0.3+4x

4.6x-4x=0.3+1.3

0.6x=1.6

x=1.6/0.6=8/3

x=8/3 OR 2.7

Hope this helps!

Answer 2

`\boxed{x = 2(2)/(3) }`

Explanation:

`-1.3+4.6x = 0.3 +4x`

Collecting like terms

`4.6 x -4x = 0.3+1.3`

`0.6x = 1.6`

Dividing both sides by 0.6

x = 1.6 / 0.6

x = 2 2/3
