How to solve 0.2x-0.15=0.15x

1. Factor the equation (x + 2)(x + 3) = 0. 2. Set each factor equal to zero: x + 2 = 0 and x + 3 = 0. 3. Solve for x: x = -2 and x = -3.

Question

$$0.2x-0.15=0.15x$$

Solve for x

$x=3$

Steps for Solving Linear Equation

Subtract $0.15x$ from both sides.

$$0.2x-0.15-0.15x=0$$

Combine $0.2x$ and $-0.15x$ to get $0.05x$.

$$0.05x-0.15=0$$

Add $0.15$ to both sides. Anything plus zero gives itself.

$$0.05x=0.15$$

Divide both sides by $0.05$.

$$x=\frac{0.15}{0.05}$$

Expand $\frac{0.15}{0.05}$ by multiplying both numerator and the denominator by $100$.

$$x=\frac{15}{5}$$

Divide $15$ by $5$ to get $3$.

$$x=3$$
