Solve for X: 2 ( × - 3 ) = 1.2-x

Sagot :

2(x-3) = 1.2-x
2x-6 = 1.2-x
2x+x = 1.2+6
3x = 7.2
3x/3 = 7.2/3
x = 2.4
when solving an equation, you must do the same thing to both sides or else it won't be equal

when dealing with one unknown (x) try to get the unknown on one side

2(x-3)=1.2-x
distribute or multiply 2 by x then -3

so (2 times x)+(2 times -3[remember negative times positive=negative])
2x-6=1.2-x
add 6 to both sides
2x=7.2-x
add x to both sides
3x=7.2
divide both sides by 3
x=2.4
