How do you solve #0.18x - 11.65 = 0.41x - 9.58 #?

Answer 1

Julia Adams

#x = -9#

#0.18x - 11.65 =0.41x - 9.58#

#0.18x - 0.41x = - 9.58 + 11.65 #

#- 0.23x = 2.07 #

#x = 2.07 /(- 0.23) #

#x = -9#

To solve the equation 0.18x - 11.65 = 0.41x - 9.58, you would first combine like terms by subtracting 0.18x from both sides of the equation. This gives you -11.65 = 0.23x - 9.58. Then, you would isolate the variable by adding 9.58 to both sides of the equation. This yields -2.07 = 0.23x. Finally, divide both sides by 0.23 to solve for x. This gives you x ≈ -8.997.

To solve the equation 0.18x - 11.65 = 0.41x - 9.58, you need to isolate the variable x.

First, you can combine like terms by moving all the terms containing x to one side of the equation and constants to the other side.
Subtract 0.18x from both sides to eliminate it from the left side of the equation.
Add 9.58 to both sides to move constants to the right side.
Combine the constants on the right side.
Finally, divide both sides by the coefficient of x to solve for 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.
