How to solve 0.6x-0.3=1.2+0.4x

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

$$0.6x-0.3=1.2+0.4x$$

Solve for x

$x=7.5$

Steps for Solving Linear Equation

Subtract $0.4x$ from both sides.

$$0.6x-0.3-0.4x=1.2$$

Combine $0.6x$ and $-0.4x$ to get $0.2x$.

$$0.2x-0.3=1.2$$

Add $0.3$ to both sides.

$$0.2x=1.2+0.3$$

Add $1.2$ and $0.3$ to get $1.5$.

$$0.2x=1.5$$

Divide both sides by $0.2$.

$$x=\frac{1.5}{0.2}$$

Expand $\frac{1.5}{0.2}$ by multiplying both numerator and the denominator by $10$.

$$x=\frac{15}{2}$$
