Question

$$4-0.3(1-x)=7$$

Solve for x

$x=11$

Steps for Solving Linear Equation

Use the distributive property to multiply $-0.3$ by $1-x$.

$$4-0.3+0.3x=7$$

Subtract $0.3$ from $4$ to get $3.7$.

$$3.7+0.3x=7$$

Subtract $3.7$ from both sides.

$$0.3x=7-3.7$$

Subtract $3.7$ from $7$ to get $3.3$.

$$0.3x=3.3$$

Divide both sides by $0.3$.

$$x=\frac{3.3}{0.3}$$

Expand $\frac{3.3}{0.3}$ by multiplying both numerator and the denominator by $10$.

$$x=\frac{33}{3}$$

Divide $33$ by $3$ to get $11$.

$$x=11$$
