Question

0.16(15x-2) =0.4x+7​

Answer 1

Answer:

Step-by-step explanation:

0.80x - 0.32 = 0.4x + 7

0.80x - 0.4x = 0.32 +7

0.40x = 7.32

x = 7.32/0.40 = 183

x = 183

Answer 2

Simplifying

0.16(5x + -2) = 0.4x + 7

Reorder the terms:

0.16(-2 + 5x) = 0.4x + 7

(-2 * 0.16 + 5x * 0.16) = 0.4x + 7

(-0.32 + 0.8x) = 0.4x + 7

Reorder the terms:

-0.32 + 0.8x = 7 + 0.4x

Solving

-0.32 + 0.8x = 7 + 0.4x

Solving for variable 'x'.

Move all terms containing x to the left, all other terms to the right.

Add '-0.4x' to each side of the equation.

-0.32 + 0.8x + -0.4x = 7 + 0.4x + -0.4x

Combine like terms: 0.8x + -0.4x = 0.4x

-0.32 + 0.4x = 7 + 0.4x + -0.4x

Combine like terms: 0.4x + -0.4x = 0.0

-0.32 + 0.4x = 7 + 0.0

-0.32 + 0.4x = 7

Add '0.32' to each side of the equation.

-0.32 + 0.32 + 0.4x = 7 + 0.32

Combine like terms: -0.32 + 0.32 = 0.00

0.00 + 0.4x = 7 + 0.32

0.4x = 7 + 0.32

Combine like terms: 7 + 0.32 = 7.32

0.4x = 7.32

Divide each side by '0.4'.

x = 18.3

Simplifying

x = 18.3
