Question

4(x−0.8)=3.8x−5.8 PLZZZ ANSWER FAST!

Answer 1

To find the answer:
$4(x - 0.8) = 3.8x - 5.8 \\ 4x - 3.2 = 3.8x - 5.8 \\ 4x - 3.8x = - 5.8 + 3.2 \\ 0.2x = - 2.6 \\ x = - \frac{ 2.6}{0.2} \\ x = - 13$

Therefore, x=-13.

Hope it helps!

Answer 2

Answer:  The required solution is x = -13.

Step-by-step explanation: We are given to solve the following linear equation in variable x :

$4(x-0.8)=3.8x-5.8~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~(i)$

Solving equation (i) means finding the value of the unknown variable x.

The solution of equation (i) is as follows :

$4(x-0.8)=3.8x-5.8\\\\\Rightarrow 4x-3.2=3.8x-5.8\\\\\Rightarrow 4x-3.8x=3.2-5.8\\\\\Rightarrow 0.2x=-2.6\\\\\Rightarrow x=-\dfrac{2.6}{0.2}\\\\\Rightarrow x=-13.$

Thus, the required solution is x = -13.
