Question

Solve for x 2(x-7)=0.2(x+2)+5.11

Answer 1

Answer:

Step-by-step explanation:

You start off by rewriting the equation:

$2(x-7)=0.2(x+2)+5.11$

Then you have to factor:

$2x-14=0.2x+0.4+5.11$

Then you subtract the 0.2x:

$1.8x-14=0.4+5.11$

Add the positives on the right:

$1.8x-14=5.51$

Add 14:

$1.8x=19.51$

Divide:

$x=10.84$

You get x is approximately equal to 10.84
