2 3x – 6(2x – 0.055) = 10x + 0.515
I don't know what want but assuming your solving for x...
23x-12x-.33= 10x + 0.515
11x-.33= 10x + 0.515
x= 0.845
You need to clarify your post. Is that 23x or 3x (for problem #2 perhaps)?
IF it is 23, then note that the -0.33 in the solution provided should be + and not - and
x = 0.l85 and not 0.845.
Check my thinking.
Okay I'm not going to be lazy I'll just redo what I did wrong on that.
If it is 23x of course...
23x-12x+.33 = 10x + 0.515
11x+.33 = 10x + 0.515
x= 0.815
To solve the equation 2(3x) – 6(2x – 0.055) = 10x + 0.515, you can follow these steps:
Step 1: Distribute the numbers outside the parentheses:
6x – 12x + 0.33 = 10x + 0.515
Step 2: Combine like terms:
-6x – 12x + 0.33 = 10x + 0.515
-18x + 0.33 = 10x + 0.515
Step 3: Get rid of the constants on one side by subtracting 0.33 from both sides:
-18x + 0.33 - 0.33 = 10x + 0.515 - 0.33
-18x = 10x + 0.185
Step 4: Combine like terms:
-18x = 10x + 0.185
Step 5: Move all terms with x to one side by subtracting 10x from both sides:
-18x - 10x = 10x - 10x + 0.185
-28x = 0.185
Step 6: Solve for x by dividing both sides by -28:
x = 0.185 / -28
x ≈ -0.0066
So the solution to the equation is x ≈ -0.0066.
