Question

0.6x-1.9=0.2x+0.5
guys please help​

Answer 1

$\huge\bold\red{ANSWER}$

Simplifying

0.6x + -1.9 = 0.2x + 0.5

Reorder the terms:

-1.9 + 0.6x = 0.2x + 0.5

Reorder the terms:

-1.9 + 0.6x = 0.5 + 0.2x

Solving

-1.9 + 0.6x = 0.5 + 0.2x

Solving for variable 'x'.

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

Add '-0.2x' to each side of the equation.

-1.9 + 0.6x + -0.2x = 0.5 + 0.2x + -0.2x

Combine like terms: 0.6x + -0.2x = 0.4x

-1.9 + 0.4x = 0.5 + 0.2x + -0.2x

Combine like terms: 0.2x + -0.2x = 0.0

-1.9 + 0.4x = 0.5 + 0.0

-1.9 + 0.4x = 0.5

Add '1.9' to each side of the equation.

-1.9 + 1.9 + 0.4x = 0.5 + 1.9

Combine like terms: -1.9 + 1.9 = 0.0

0.0 + 0.4x = 0.5 + 1.9

0.4x = 0.5 + 1.9

Combine like terms: 0.5 + 1.9 = 2.4

0.4x = 2.4

Divide each side by '0.4'.

x = 6

Simplifying

x = 6

Answer 2

0.6x-1.9=0.2x+0.5

0.6x-0.2x = 0.5+1.9

0.4x = 2.4

x= 2.4/0.4

x= 6
