Question

0.2(2x-3)=0.8(x-1)......solve it

Answer 1

Step-by-step explanation:

0.2(2x-3) = 0.8(x-1)

2x-3 = 4(x-1)

2x-3 = 4x-4 -> 4-3 = 4x-2x

2x = 1

x = 1/2 = 0.5

Answer 2

Step-by-step explanation:

$0.2(2x - 3) = 0.8(x - 1) \\ \frac{2x - 3}{x - 1} = \frac{0.8}{0.2} \\ \frac{2x - 3}{x - 1} = 4 \: \: \: \: by \: dividing \\ 2x - 3 = 4(x - 1) \: \: \: \: by \: cross \: multiplying \\ 2x - 3 = 4x - 4 \\ 4 - 3 = 4x - 2x \\ 1 = 2x \\ \frac{1}{2} = x \: \: \: \: ans$
