Question

$$0.16(5x+1)=0.4x+0.16$$

Solve for x

$x=0$

Steps for Solving Linear Equation

Use the distributive property to multiply $0.16$ by $5x+1$.

$$0.8x+0.16=0.4x+0.16$$

Subtract $0.4x$ from both sides.

$$0.8x+0.16-0.4x=0.16$$

Combine $0.8x$ and $-0.4x$ to get $0.4x$.

$$0.4x+0.16=0.16$$

Subtract $0.16$ from both sides.

$$0.4x=0.16-0.16$$

Subtract $0.16$ from $0.16$ to get $0$.

$$0.4x=0$$

Product of two numbers is equal to $0$ if at least one of them is $0$. Since $0.4$ is not equal to $0$, $x$ must be equal to $0$.

$$x=0$$
