How to solve 0.8x+1.25=2x+0.05

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

$$0.8x+1.25=2x+0.05$$

Solve for x

$x=1$

Steps for Solving Linear Equation

Subtract $2x$ from both sides.

$$0.8x+1.25-2x=0.05$$

Combine $0.8x$ and $-2x$ to get $-1.2x$.

$$-1.2x+1.25=0.05$$

Subtract $1.25$ from both sides.

$$-1.2x=0.05-1.25$$

Subtract $1.25$ from $0.05$ to get $-1.2$.

$$-1.2x=-1.2$$

Divide both sides by $-1.2$.

$$x=\frac{-1.2}{-1.2}$$

Divide $-1.2$ by $-1.2$ to get $1$.

$$x=1$$
