How do you solve #0.06x + 0.24 - 0.02x = 0.36#?

Answer 1

The solution is #x=3#.

Bring all the quantities with x on one side of the #=# and the others on the other side remembering that the "jump" of the #=# changes the sign.

#0.06x+0.24-0.02x=0.36# #0.06x-0.02x=0.36-0.24#

Now, on the left side we sum the numbers in front of the #x# and on the right we sum the numbers.

#(0.06-0.02)x=0.36-0.24#

#0.04x=0.12#

Finally we divide both sides for the number in front of #x# in order to cancel it and leave the #x# alone

#0.04/0.04x=0.12/0.04# #x=0.12/0.04# #x=3#.

To solve the equation 0.06x + 0.24 - 0.02x = 0.36, you would first combine like terms. Then, isolate the variable by subtracting 0.24 from both sides of the equation. Finally, divide both sides by the coefficient of x, which is 0.04. This will give you the value of x.

When evaluating a one-sided limit, you need to be careful when a quantity is approaching zero since its sign is different depending on which way it is approaching zero from. Let us look at some examples.
