Answer: Simplifying
17.75x + 24 = 18.95x + 18
Reorder the terms:
24 + 17.75x = 18.95x + 18
Reorder the terms:
24 + 17.75x = 18 + 18.95x
Solving
24 + 17.75x = 18 + 18.95x
Solving for variable 'x'.
Move all terms containing x to the left, all other terms to the right.
Add '-18.95x' to each side of the equation.
24 + 17.75x + -18.95x = 18 + 18.95x + -18.95x
Combine like terms: 17.75x + -18.95x = -1.2x
24 + -1.2x = 18 + 18.95x + -18.95x
Combine like terms: 18.95x + -18.95x = 0.00
24 + -1.2x = 18 + 0.00
24 + -1.2x = 18
Add '-24' to each side of the equation.
24 + -24 + -1.2x = 18 + -24
Combine like terms: 24 + -24 = 0
0 + -1.2x = 18 + -24
-1.2x = 18 + -24
Combine like terms: 18 + -24 = -6
-1.2x = -6
Divide each side by '-1.2'.
x = 5
