Question

$$0.5x-2.5=77.5-0.3x$$

Solve for x

$x=100$

Steps for Solving Linear Equation

Add $0.3x$ to both sides.

$$0.5x-2.5+0.3x=77.5$$

Combine $0.5x$ and $0.3x$ to get $0.8x$.

$$0.8x-2.5=77.5$$

Add $2.5$ to both sides.

$$0.8x=77.5+2.5$$

Add $77.5$ and $2.5$ to get $80$.

$$0.8x=80$$

Divide both sides by $0.8$.

$$x=\frac{80}{0.8}$$

Expand $\frac{80}{0.8}$ by multiplying both numerator and the denominator by $10$.

$$x=\frac{800}{8}$$

Divide $800$ by $8$ to get $100$.

$$x=100$$
