Question

$$6x-10.3=-2x-0.3$$

Solve for x

$x=1.25$

Steps for Solving Linear Equation

Add $2x$ to both sides.

$$6x-10.3+2x=-0.3$$

Combine $6x$ and $2x$ to get $8x$.

$$8x-10.3=-0.3$$

Add $10.3$ to both sides.

$$8x=-0.3+10.3$$

Add $-0.3$ and $10.3$ to get $10$.

$$8x=10$$

Divide both sides by $8$.

$$x=\frac{10}{8}$$

Reduce the fraction $\frac{10}{8}$ to lowest terms by extracting and canceling out $2$.

$$x=\frac{5}{4}$$
