When you must multiply non whole numbers, decimals are easier to manipulate in the sense that setting up a multiplication problem with decimals rather than fractions is much simpler and easier to calculate.

Answer:

$\boxed{x = 4}$

Step-by-step explanation:

=> 5x-4+2(x-4) = 16

Expanding the brackets

=> 5x-4+2x-8 = 16

Combining like terms

=> 5x+2x-4-8 = 16

=> 7x - 12 = 16

Adding 12 to both sides

=> 7x = 16+12

=> 7x = 28

Dividing both sides by 7

=> x = 4

What is the value of x in the equation 2(x – 3) + 9 = 3(x + 1) + x?<br>x = <br>

sukhopar [10]

Start with

$2(x-3)+9=3(x+1)+x$

Expand both parentheses by multiplying both terms by the number outside:

$2x-6+9 = 3x+3+x$

Sum like terms:

$2x+3 = 4x+3$

Simplify the "+3" on both sides:

$2x = 4x$

Subtract 2x from both sides:

$2x=0$

Divide both sides by 2:

$x=0$
