Solve -2.28-0.2x=-11.9+2.4x

$$- 2.28 - 0.2 x = - 11.9 + 2.4 x$$

Solve for x

$$x=3.7$$

Steps for Solving Linear Equation

Subtract 2.4x from both sides.

$$-2.28-0.2x-2.4x=-11.9$$

Combine -0.2x and -2.4x to get -2.6x.

$$-2.28-2.6x=-11.9$$

Add 2.28 to both sides.

$$-2.6x=-11.9+2.28$$

Add -11.9 and 2.28 to get -9.62.

$$-2.6x=-9.62$$

Divide both sides by -2.6.

$$x=\frac{-9.62}{-2.6}$$

Expand \frac{-9.62}{-2.6} by multiplying both numerator and the denominator by 100.

$$x=\frac{-962}{-260}$$

Reduce the fraction \frac{-962}{-260} to lowest terms by extracting and canceling out -26.

$$x=\frac{37}{10}$$
