Question

What is 0.06x-0.18=0.12

Answer 1

Hi there!

To solve this problem, we should simplify.

0.06x - 0.18 = 0.12

First, we should add 0.18 to both sides:

0.06x = 0.12 + 0.18
0.06x = 0.3

Now, we can convert 0.06 into a fraction and multiply both sides of the equation by its receprical to isolate x:

0.06 = 6/100
6/100 × 100/6 = 1
0.3 × 100/6 = 30/6
x = 30/6
x = 15/3
x = 5

So, x is 5.

Hope this helps!
