Question

Solve for x: 4.8x = 16.8 please give step by step explanation

Answer 1

Answer: x=3.5

Step-by-step explanation:

Divide each term by 4.8 and simplify :) hope this helps, and if it does, can you mark brainiest? my answers have been getting deleted if they are not marked. :(

Answer 2

Answer:

x=3.5

Step-by-step explanation:

Simplify   ——

           5

Equation at the end of step

1

:

  48         84

 (—— • x) -  ——  = 0

  10         5

STEP

2

:

           24

Simplify   ——

           5

Equation at the end of step 2:

  24         84

 (—— • x) -  ——  = 0

  5          5

STEP 3:

Adding fractions which have a common denominator :

3.1       Adding fractions which have a common denominator

Combine the numerators together, put the sum or difference over the common denominator then reduce to lowest terms if possible:

24x - (84)     24x - 84

——————————  =  ————————

    5             5    

STEP 4:

Pulling out like terms :

4.1     Pull out like factors :

  24x - 84  =   12 • (2x - 7)

Equation at the end of step 4:

 12 • (2x - 7)

 —————————————  = 0

       5      

The equation now takes the shape :

  12  •  (2x-7)  = 0

Equations which are never true:

5.2      Solve :    12   =  0

This equation has no solution.

A a non-zero constant never equals zero.

Solving a Single Variable Equation:

5.3      Solve  :    2x-7 = 0

Add  7  to both sides of the equation :

                     2x = 7

Divide both sides of the equation by 2:

                    x = 7/2 = 3.500

x = 7/2 = 3.500
