Answer:
x = 2
Explanation:
1. Combine multiplied terms into a single fraction
19.2 − 15 = 7.5 + 8.4
96/5 − 15 = 7.5x + 8.4
2. Combine multiplied terms into a single fraction again
96/5 − 15 = 7.5x + 8.4
96/5 − 15 = 15x/2 + 8.4
3. Add 15 to both sides of the equation
96/5 − 15 = 15x/2 + 8.4
96/5 − 15 + 15 = 15x/2 + 8.4 + 15
4. Simplify
96/5 = 15x/2 + 8.4 +1.5
96/5 = 15x/2 + 23.4
5. Multiply all terms by the same value to eliminate fraction denominators
96/5 = 15x/2 + 23.4
2 x 5 x 96/5 = 2 x 5(15x/2 + 23.4)
7. solution
x=2
