How do you solve #0.6x - 1.5 = 1.8#?

Answer 1

Hazel Anglin

#color(blue)(x=11/2#

# 0.6x−1.5=1.8#

# 0.6x=1.8+1.5#

# 0.6x=3.3#

#x=3.3/0.6#

#x=33/6#

#color(blue)(x=11/2#

You solve (0.6x - 1.5 = 1.8) by adding 1.5 to both sides, then dividing both sides by 0.6. The solution is (x = 5).

To solve the equation 0.6x - 1.5 = 1.8, follow these steps:

Add 1.5 to both sides of the equation: 0.6x - 1.5 + 1.5 = 1.8 + 1.5
Simplify: 0.6x = 3.3
Divide both sides by 0.6: 0.6x / 0.6 = 3.3 / 0.6
Simplify: x = 5.5
