Question

2(3-x)-1.4(5-2x)=2x+5.3

Answer 1

I think the answer is : x = -5.25

Answer 2

Answer:

x=-5.25

Step-by-step explanation:

Original equation:

$2(3-x)-1.4(5-2x)=2x+5.3$

Distribute:

$6-2x-7+2.8x=2x+5.3$

Group like terms:

$(6-7)+(2.8x-2x)=2x+5.3$

Add like terms:

$-1+0.8x=2x+5.3$

Add 1 to both sides

$0.8x=2x+6.3$

Subtract 2x from both sides

$-1.2x=6.3$

Divide both sides by -1.2

$x=-5.25$
