Question

$$0.3x+4=0.7x+8$$

Solve for x

$x=-10$

Steps for Solving Linear Equation

Subtract $0.7x$ from both sides.

$$0.3x+4-0.7x=8$$

Combine $0.3x$ and $-0.7x$ to get $-0.4x$.

$$-0.4x+4=8$$

Subtract $4$ from both sides.

$$-0.4x=8-4$$

Subtract $4$ from $8$ to get $4$.

$$-0.4x=4$$

Divide both sides by $-0.4$.

$$x=\frac{4}{-0.4}$$

Expand $\frac{4}{-0.4}$ by multiplying both numerator and the denominator by $10$.

$$x=\frac{40}{-4}$$

Divide $40$ by $-4$ to get $-10$.

$$x=-10$$
