How to solve 0.6x+0.3=2.5-0.5x

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

$$0.6x+0.3=2.5-0.5x$$

Solve for x

$x=2$

Steps for Solving Linear Equation

Add $0.5x$ to both sides.

$$0.6x+0.3+0.5x=2.5$$

Combine $0.6x$ and $0.5x$ to get $1.1x$.

$$1.1x+0.3=2.5$$

Subtract $0.3$ from both sides.

$$1.1x=2.5-0.3$$

Subtract $0.3$ from $2.5$ to get $2.2$.

$$1.1x=2.2$$

Divide both sides by $1.1$.

$$x=\frac{2.2}{1.1}$$

Expand $\frac{2.2}{1.1}$ by multiplying both numerator and the denominator by $10$.

$$x=\frac{22}{11}$$

Divide $22$ by $11$ to get $2$.

$$x=2$$
