Question

0.2(x+50)-6=0.4(3x+20)

Answer 1

Distrivute 0.2 to x and +50 and you get 0.2x+10-6  now for the other side we do the same and we get 1.2x+8 or an easier way...  Let's solve your equation step-by-step.0.2(x+50)−6=0.4(3x+20)Step 1: Simplify both sides of the equation.0.2x+4=1.2x+8Step 2: Subtract 1.2x from both sides.0.2x+4−1.2x=1.2x+8−1.2x−x+4=8Step 3: Subtract 4 from both sides.−x+4−4=8−4                −x=4  now you divide by negative x (technically it is -1x=4 so your answer is x=-4
