Solve the equation x – 5 = 0.1(x + 5) for x

Step-by-step explanation:

x - 5 = 0.1(x +5)

x - 5 = 0.1x + 5*0.1

x -5 = 0.1x + 0.5 {Add 5 to both sides}

  x = 0.1x + 0.5 + 5

  x = 0.1x + 5.5

x -0.1x = 5.5      {subtract 0.1x from both sides}

  0.9x =5.5         {Divide both sides by 0.9}

        x = 5.5/0.9

       x = 55/9

       x = 6 1/9

Step-by-step explanation:

x - 5 = 0.1(x + 5)           {multiply both sides by 10}

10x - 50 = x + 5            {subtract x from both sides}

9x - 50 = 5                   {add 50 to both sides}

9x = 55                         {divide both sides by 9}

x = ⁵⁵/₉ = 6¹/₉

x=17

step-by-step explanation:

solve 3x-24=x+10

then that makes it 2x=34 because you subtract an x from both sides to get rid of the one on the right, and then you add 24 to both sides to get rid of the 24 on the left

divide by both sides by 2 to get your answer so that you can get your answer

equal to
