Question

solve the equation: 3 - 2(3x + 0.8) = 1.5(10 - 2x) + x, x =

Explanation:

Step1: Expand both sides

$3 - 6x - 1.6 = 15 - 3x + x$

Step2: Simplify both sides

$1.4 - 6x = 15 - 2x$

Step3: Rearrange terms

$-6x + 2x = 15 - 1.4$

Step4: Calculate and isolate $x$

$-4x = 13.6$
$x = \frac{13.6}{-4}$

Answer:

$x = -3.4$
