Question

$$1.2y-0.6x-1.2y-2.4x=0.6$$

Solve for x

$x=-0.2$

Steps for Solving Linear Equation

Combine $1.2y$ and $-1.2y$ to get $0$.

$$-0.6x-2.4x=0.6$$

Combine $-0.6x$ and $-2.4x$ to get $-3x$.

$$-3x=0.6$$

Divide both sides by $-3$.

$$x=\frac{0.6}{-3}$$

Expand $\frac{0.6}{-3}$ by multiplying both numerator and the denominator by $10$.

$$x=\frac{6}{-30}$$

Reduce the fraction $\frac{6}{-30}$ to lowest terms by extracting and canceling out $6$.

$$x=-\frac{1}{5}$$

Solve for y (complex solution)

$y\in \mathrm{C}$
$x = -\frac{1}{5} = -0.2$

Solve for y

$y\in \mathrm{R}$
$x = -\frac{1}{5} = -0.2$
