Question

$$0.5x+0.8=2.6-0.4$$

Solve for x

$x=2.8$

Steps for Solving Linear Equation

Subtract $0.4$ from $2.6$ to get $2.2$.

$$0.5x+0.8=2.2$$

Subtract $0.8$ from both sides.

$$0.5x=2.2-0.8$$

Subtract $0.8$ from $2.2$ to get $1.4$.

$$0.5x=1.4$$

Divide both sides by $0.5$.

$$x=\frac{1.4}{0.5}$$

Expand $\frac{1.4}{0.5}$ by multiplying both numerator and the denominator by $10$.

$$x=\frac{14}{5}$$
