Question

$$2 \times 2 + 5 x - 1.2 = 0$$

Solve for x

$x=-0.56$

Steps for Solving Linear Equation

Multiply $2$ and $2$ to get $4$.

$$4+5x-1.2=0$$

Subtract $1.2$ from $4$ to get $2.8$.

$$2.8+5x=0$$

Subtract $2.8$ from both sides. Anything subtracted from zero gives its negation.

$$5x=-2.8$$

Divide both sides by $5$.

$$x=\frac{-2.8}{5}$$

Expand $\frac{-2.8}{5}$ by multiplying both numerator and the denominator by $10$.

$$x=\frac{-28}{50}$$

Reduce the fraction $\frac{-28}{50}$ to lowest terms by extracting and canceling out $2$.

$$x=-\frac{14}{25}$$
