Question

$$(0.3)x-1.8=x-1.16$$

Solve for x

$x=-\frac{32}{35}\approx -0.914285714$

Steps for Solving Linear Equation

Subtract $x$ from both sides.

$$0.3x-1.8-x=-1.16$$

Combine $0.3x$ and $-x$ to get $-0.7x$.

$$-0.7x-1.8=-1.16$$

Add $1.8$ to both sides.

$$-0.7x=-1.16+1.8$$

Add $-1.16$ and $1.8$ to get $0.64$.

$$-0.7x=0.64$$

Divide both sides by $-0.7$.

$$x=\frac{0.64}{-0.7}$$

Expand $\frac{0.64}{-0.7}$ by multiplying both numerator and the denominator by $100$.

$$x=\frac{64}{-70}$$

Reduce the fraction $\frac{64}{-70}$ to lowest terms by extracting and canceling out $2$.

$$x=-\frac{32}{35}$$
