Question

Solve the equation 12 + 0.35x = 20.05

Answer 1

X=23 First, you have to subtract 12 by 12 to cancel it out. Next, you have to do the same thing to 20.05. 20.05 minus 12 is 8.05. All you have left is .35x. To get rid of the this you have to divide .35x by .35. Now all you have left is x. Finally you have to do the same thing to 8.05. 8.05 divided by .35 is 23. So, x=23

Answer 2

12+0.35x=20.05
12 x 100+0.35x x 100= 20.05 x 100
1200+35x=2005
1200+35x-1200=2005-1200
35x=805
x=23
