Question

Solve for x. 0.9(5x+4) = 5.7 2.5X

Answer 1

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
