How do you solve #(3x)/5+2=5.6#?

Answer 1

Eli Assouline

I got #x=6#

I would first multiply both sides by #10#: #10*((3x)/5+2)=10*5.6# #6x+20=56# rearrange: #6x=56-20# #x=36/6=6#

To solve the equation (3x)/5 + 2 = 5.6, follow these steps:

Subtract 2 from both sides of the equation: (3x)/5 = 5.6 - 2
Simplify the right side: (3x)/5 = 3.6
Multiply both sides by 5 to isolate x: 3x = 3.6 * 5
Simplify the right side: 3x = 18
Divide both sides by 3: x = 18 / 3
Solve for x: x = 6

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.
