Question

0.6x-1.9=0.2x+0.5 solve and check your answer with steps

Answer 1

Answer:

0.6x - 0.2x = 1.9+0.5

0.4x = 2.4

x = 2.4/(0.4). multiply with 10 on both numerator and denomenator.

ie: x = (2.4x10)/(0.4x10)

x = 24/4

x = 6

Answer 2

Given:

0.6x-1.9=0.2x+0.5

To Find:

solve and check your answer with steps

Solution:

It is given that we have to solve the given equation and then check the solution,

The given equation is,

0.6x-1.9=0.2x+0.5

now arranging the x variable on the left side and the numbers on the right side,

0.6x-0.2x=0.5+1.9

0.4x=2.4

now divide both sides by 0.4,

0.4x/0.4=2.4/0.4

x=6

So we have a solution of x=6, now checking the solution by putting the value in the main equation,

0.6x-1.9=0.2x+0.5

0.6*6-1.9=0.2*6+0.5

3.6-1.9=1.2+0.5

1.7=1.7

So the solution is correct.

Hence, the solution of the equation is x=6 and is also proved by checking the solution.
