Solve -6.2-12.6x=5.8-7.8x

$$- 6.2 - 12.6 x = 5.8 - 7.8 x$$

Solve for x

$$x=-2.5$$

Steps for Solving Linear Equation

Add 7.8x to both sides.

$$-6.2-12.6x+7.8x=5.8$$

Combine -12.6x and 7.8x to get -4.8x.

$$-6.2-4.8x=5.8$$

Add 6.2 to both sides.

$$-4.8x=5.8+6.2$$

Add 5.8 and 6.2 to get 12.

$$-4.8x=12$$

Divide both sides by -4.8.

$$x=\frac{12}{-4.8}$$

Expand \frac{12}{-4.8} by multiplying both numerator and the denominator by 10.

$$x=\frac{120}{-48}$$

Reduce the fraction \frac{120}{-48} to lowest terms by extracting and canceling out 24.

$$x=-\frac{5}{2}$$
