Question

Solve each of the following equations and check your answer in each case
0.6x - 1.9 = 0.2x + 0.5​

Answer 1

Answer:

6

Step-by-step explanation:

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 = 240/40

x = 6

Answer 2

Answer:

x = 6

Step-by-step explanation:

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

Transposing 1.9 to RHS and 0.2x to LHS

0.6x - 0.2 x = 1.9 + 0.5

0.4x = 2.4

transposing 0.4 to LHS

x = 2.4/0.4

x = 24/4

x = 6

Check:

putting x = 6

LHS

0.6 *6 -1.9

=3.6 - 1.9

= 1.7

RHS

0.2 * 6 + 0.5

1.2 +0.5

=1.7

LHS = RHS

Hence Proved
