Question

Solve the following equations and check your answers. a.] 0.6x + 0.8x = .28x +1.16

Answer 1

$0.6x + 0.8x = 0.28x + 1.16 \\ 1.4x = 0.28x + 1.16 \\ 1.4x - 0.28x = 1.16 \\ 1.12 x = 1.16 \\ x = \frac{1.16}{1.12}$

Answer 2

Answer:

0.6x + 0.8x = 0.28x + 1.16

0.6x + 0.8x - 0.28x = 1.16

1.4x - 0.28x = 1.16

1.12x = 1.16

x = 1.16/1.12

x = 58/56
