Question

Solve for x: [2] 0.6(6 - x) = 0.8(x + 8)​

Answer 1

Answer:

[2] = 2

so

2 {0.6 (6-x)} = 0.8x +6.4

7.2-1.2x = 0.8x+6.4

0.8= 2x

Hence x = 0.8/2 =0.4

Answer 2

Step-by-step explanation:

0.6(6-x) = 0.8(x + 8)

= 3.6 - 0.6x = 0.8x + 6.4

= - 0.6x - 0.8x = 6.4 - 3.6

= -1.4x = 2.8

= x = 2.8/-1.4

x = 2
