Question

(0.5x+1.2)–(3.6–4.5x)=(4.8–0.3x)+(10.5x+0.6)

Answer 1

Answer:

x = -1.5

Step-by-step explanation:

(0.5x+1.2)–(3.6–4.5x)=(4.8–0.3x)+(10.5x+0.6)

*I would first change any  minus signs that are outside of the parenthesis to a plus sign. This is optional, not necessary. *

0.5x + 1.2 + (-3.6) + 4.5x = 4.8–0.3x + 10.5x + 0.6

*Now combine like terms on each side. *

5x + (-2.4) = 10.2x + 5.4

*move all Xs on one side.*

-5.2x = 7.8

*Divide both sides by -5.2 to get X by itself."

x = -1.5
