Answer:
X = -0.485
Step-by-step explanation:
Based on the expression, making X the subject matter.
1.4(3x+0.5)= 1 3 (6x+2.7)
Open up the bracket
4.2x + 0.7 = 78x +35.1
Collecting of like terms
4.2x -78x = 35.1+ 0.7
-73.8x = 35.8
Making x the subject
X = 35.8/-73.8
X = -0.48509
Corrected Question
Solve for x in the expression [tex]1.4(3x+0.5)=\frac{1}{3}(6x+2.7)[/tex]
Answer:
[tex]x=\dfrac{1}{11}[/tex]
Step-by-step explanation:
Given the expression: [tex]1.4(3x+0.5)=\frac{1}{3}(6x+2.7)[/tex]
Step 1: Distribute the terms
[tex]1.4(3x+0.5)=\frac{1}{3}(6x+2.7)\\1.4*3x+1.4*0.5=\frac{1}{3}*6x+\frac{1}{3}*2.7\\4.2x+0.7=2x+0.9[/tex]
Step 2: Collect like terms
[tex]4.2x+0.7=2x+0.9\\4.2x-2x=0.9-0.7\\2.2x=0.2\\$Divide booth sides by 2.2\\x=\dfrac{1}{11}[/tex]
Hope this helped?
