Question

6. 0.25(60) + 0.10x =
0.15(60 + x) linear equation​

Answer 1

Answer:

STEPS FOR SOLVING LINEAR EQUATION

0.25(60)+0.10x=0.15(60+x)

Multiply 0.25 and 60 to get 15.

15+0.1x=0.15(60+x)

Use the distributive property to multiply 0.15 by 60+x.

15+0.1x=9+0.15x

Subtract 0.15x from both sides.

15+0.1x−0.15x=9

Combine 0.1x and −0.15x to get −0.05x.

15−0.05x=9

Subtract 15 from both sides.

−0.05x=9−15

Subtract 15 from 9 to get −6.

−0.05x=−6

Divide both sides by −0.05.

x=

−0.05

−6

Expand

−0.05

−6

by multiplying both numerator and the denominator by 100.

x=

−5

−600

Divide −600 by −5 to get 120.

x=120
