Question

Solve: $0.4x-1.2=0.3x+0.6$

Answer 1

Step: Find the value of $x$

We have,
$0.4x-1.2=0.3x+0.6$

Transposing the terms $-1.2$ and $0.3x$ to RHS we get,

$0.4x-0.3x=0.6+1.2$

$\Rightarrow 0.1x=1.8$

Now, transposing the term $0.1$ to RHS we get,

$\Rightarrow x=\frac{1.8}{0.1}$

$\Rightarrow x=\frac{18}{1}$

$\therefore$ The value of $x=18$
