Hey there!☺
When you are solving an equation, it is important to use <em>inverse</em> operations. You will need to use the <em>inverse</em> operations on both sides of the equation. And it is also important to isolate the variable. After you do that, you will need to reverse it up. The way to do all of this is using the <em>inverse</em>.
To solve an equation, you use <u>inverse</u> operations.
Hope this helps!
See how many times the denominator goes into the numerator. For example, with 24/8, 8 goes into 24 three times, so 24/8 is 3. If I had 25/8, then it would be 3 1/8 because you have one left over after you divide the 8 into 25.
Let's solve this problem step-by-step.
6+0.1x=0.15x+8
Step 1: Simplify both sides of the equation.
0.1x+6=0.15x+8
Step 2: Subtract 0.15x from both sides.
0.1x+6−0.15x=0.15x+8−0.15x
−0.05x+6=8
Step 3: Subtract 6 from both sides.
−0.05x+6−6=8−6
−0.05x=2
Step 4: Divide both sides by -0.05.
-0.05x/-0.05=2/-0.05
So, the answer for this problem is x=-40
