Question

0.03x + 0.02 = 0.02x - 0.06 then x is .........​

Answer 1

Answer:

0.03x + 0.02 = 0.02x - 0.06

Multiply whole equation by 100

3x + 2 = 2x - 6

3x - 2x = -6 -2

x = -8

Answer 2

$This \: problem \: is \: about \\ Linear \: equation \: in \: one \:variable \: x :$

$0.03x + 0.02 = 0.02x - 0.06$

/* Subtract 0.02 from both sides */

$\implies 0.03x + 0.02 - 0.02 = 0.02x - 0.06-0.02$

$\implies 0.03x = 0.02x - 0.08$

/* Subtract 0.02x from both sides */

$\implies 0.03x - 0.02x = 0.02x - 0.08-0.02x$

$\implies 0.01x = - 0.08$

/*On Multiplying both sides by 100 */

$\implies 100 \times 0.01x =100\times( - 0.08)$

$\implies x = - 8$

Therefore.,

$\red { Value \: of \: x } \green { = -8 }$
