Answer:
x=0.369231
Step-by-step explanation:
0.9(5x+4)=5.7(2.5x)
Step 1: Simplify both sides of the equation.
0.9(5x+4)=5.7(2.5x)
(0.9)(5x)+(0.9)(4)=5.7(2.5x)(Distribute)
4.5x+3.6=14.25x
Step 2: Subtract 14.25x from both sides.
4.5x+3.6−14.25x=14.25x−14.25x
−9.75x+3.6=0
Step 3: Subtract 3.6 from both sides.
−9.75x+3.6−3.6=0−3.6
−9.75x=−3.6
Step 4: Divide both sides by -9.75.
−9.75x/ −9.75 = −3.6/ −9.75
x=0.369231
