Solve .088-2(4.8x+0.63)=0.7x

$$.088 - 2 ( 4.8 x + 0.63 ) = 0.7 x$$

Solve for x

$$x=-\frac{293}{2575}\approx -0.113786408$$

Steps for Solving Linear Equation

Use the distributive property to multiply -2 by 4.8x+0.63.

$$0.088-9.6x-1.26=0.7x$$

Subtract 1.26 from 0.088 to get -1.172.

$$-1.172-9.6x=0.7x$$

Subtract 0.7x from both sides.

$$-1.172-9.6x-0.7x=0$$

Combine -9.6x and -0.7x to get -10.3x.

$$-1.172-10.3x=0$$

Add 1.172 to both sides. Anything plus zero gives itself.

$$-10.3x=1.172$$

Divide both sides by -10.3.

$$x=\frac{1.172}{-10.3}$$

Expand \frac{1.172}{-10.3} by multiplying both numerator and the denominator by 1000.

$$x=\frac{1172}{-10300}$$

Reduce the fraction \frac{1172}{-10300} to lowest terms by extracting and canceling out 4.

$$x=-\frac{293}{2575}$$
