Question

Solve equation 2.4x+1.35-0.04=3.71+13.5

Answer 1

2.4x+1.35=3.71+13.5+0.04
2.4x=16.80
X=16.80/2.4
X=7

Answer 2

Solution:

Required answer:

• x = -9 is a solution of the given equation.

Given Equation:

• 2.4x + 1.35 - 0.04x = 3.71x + 13.5

Explanation:

2.4x + 1.35 - 0.04x = 3.71x + 13.5

By transposition, we have

2.4x - 0.04x - 3.71x = 13.5 - 1.35

=> 2.4x - 3.75x = 12.15

=> -1.35x = 12.15

=> x = 12.15/1.35

=> x = -9

So,

• x = -9 is a solution of the given equation.

[You may verify that x = -9 satisfies the given equation.]
