Solve (x-140)*2.4=x-140*2.5

$$(x-140) \times 2.4=x-140 \times 2.5$$

Solve for x

$$x=-10$$

Steps for Solving Linear Equation

Use the distributive property to multiply x-140 by 2.4.

$$2.4x-336=x-140\times 2.5$$

Multiply 140 and 2.5 to get 350.

$$2.4x-336=x-350$$

Subtract x from both sides.

$$2.4x-336-x=-350$$

Combine 2.4x and -x to get 1.4x.

$$1.4x-336=-350$$

Add 336 to both sides.

$$1.4x=-350+336$$

Add -350 and 336 to get -14.

$$1.4x=-14$$

Divide both sides by 1.4.

$$x=\frac{-14}{1.4}$$

Expand \frac{-14}{1.4} by multiplying both numerator and the denominator by 10.

$$x=\frac{-140}{14}$$

Divide -140 by 14 to get -10.

$$x=-10$$
