Solve the following equation and check your answer: 0.6x - 1.9 = 0.2x + 0.5

Question

KnowledgeBoat · Accepted Answer

We have: 0.6x - 1.9 = 0.2x + 0.5 ⇒ 0.6x - 0.2x = 0.5 + 1.9 [Transposing -1.9 to RHS and +0.2x to LHS] ⇒ 0.4x = 2.4 ⇒ ∴ x = 6 Check: LHS = 0.6x - 1.9 = 0.6 × 6 - 1.9 = 3.6 - 1.9 = 1.7 RHS = 0.2x + 0.5 = 0.2 × 6 + 0.5 = 1.2 + 0.5 = 1.7 Hence, LHS = RHS.
