Solve
4.2x -3.24 = 2.52-5.4x
4.2x -3.24 = 2.52-5.4x
4.2x + 5.4x = 2.52 + 3.24
9.6x = 5.76
x = ??
do x =5.76
You didn't finish the problem. You need to divide 5.76 by 9.6.
What do you come up with?
To solve the given equation, let's start by simplifying both sides of the equation.
On the left side:
4.2x - 3.24
On the right side:
2.52 - 5.4x
Now, let's gather all the terms with x on one side of the equation. We can do this by adding 5.4x to both sides of the equation:
4.2x + 5.4x - 3.24 = 2.52 - 5.4x + 5.4x
This simplifies to:
9.6x - 3.24 = 2.52
Next, let's isolate the x term by adding 3.24 to both sides of the equation:
9.6x - 3.24 + 3.24 = 2.52 + 3.24
This simplifies to:
9.6x = 5.76
Finally, to solve for x, divide both sides of the equation by 9.6:
(9.6x) / 9.6 = 5.76 / 9.6
This simplifies to:
x = 0.6
Therefore, the solution to the equation 4.2x - 3.24 = 2.52 - 5.4x is x = 0.6.
