Solve 0.03-0.01(x+12)+0.07x=0.01(2x-4)

$$0.03 - 0.01 ( x + 12 ) + 0.07 x = 0.01 ( 2 x - 4 )$$

Solve for x

$$x=1.25$$

Steps for Solving Linear Equation

Use the distributive property to multiply -0.01 by x+12.

$$0.03-0.01x-0.12+0.07x=0.01\left(2x-4\right)$$

Subtract 0.12 from 0.03 to get -0.09.

$$-0.09-0.01x+0.07x=0.01\left(2x-4\right)$$

Combine -0.01x and 0.07x to get 0.06x.

$$-0.09+0.06x=0.01\left(2x-4\right)$$

Use the distributive property to multiply 0.01 by 2x-4.

$$-0.09+0.06x=0.02x-0.04$$

Subtract 0.02x from both sides.

$$-0.09+0.06x-0.02x=-0.04$$

Combine 0.06x and -0.02x to get 0.04x.

$$-0.09+0.04x=-0.04$$

Add 0.09 to both sides.

$$0.04x=-0.04+0.09$$

Add -0.04 and 0.09 to get 0.05.

$$0.04x=0.05$$

Divide both sides by 0.04.

$$x=\frac{0.05}{0.04}$$

Expand \frac{0.05}{0.04} by multiplying both numerator and the denominator by 100.

$$x=\frac{5}{4}$$
