Solve 17.28+x/3.6*0.2=2

$$\frac { 17.28 + x } { 3.6 \times 0.2 } = 2$$

Solve for x

$$x=-15.84$$

Steps for Solving Linear Equation

Multiply 3.6 and 0.2 to get 0.72.

$$\frac{17.28+x}{0.72}=2$$

Divide each term of 17.28+x by 0.72 to get \frac{17.28}{0.72}+\frac{x}{0.72}.

$$\frac{17.28}{0.72}+\frac{x}{0.72}=2$$

Expand \frac{17.28}{0.72} by multiplying both numerator and the denominator by 100.

$$\frac{1728}{72}+\frac{x}{0.72}=2$$

Divide 1728 by 72 to get 24.

$$24+\frac{x}{0.72}=2$$

Subtract 24 from both sides.

$$\frac{x}{0.72}=2-24$$

Subtract 24 from 2 to get -22.

$$\frac{x}{0.72}=-22$$

Multiply both sides by 0.72.

$$x=-22\times 0.72$$

Multiply -22 and 0.72 to get -15.84.

$$x=-15.84$$
