Solve 0.045(x-60)+0.2=0.5

$$0.045(x-60)+0.2=0.5$$

Solve for x

$$x = \frac{200}{3} = 66\frac{2}{3} \approx 66.666666667$$

Steps for Solving Linear Equation

Use the distributive property to multiply 0.045 by x-60.

$$0.045x-2.7+0.2=0.5$$

Add -2.7 and 0.2 to get -2.5.

$$0.045x-2.5=0.5$$

Add 2.5 to both sides.

$$0.045x=0.5+2.5$$

Add 0.5 and 2.5 to get 3.

$$0.045x=3$$

Divide both sides by 0.045.

$$x=\frac{3}{0.045}$$

Expand \frac{3}{0.045} by multiplying both numerator and the denominator by 1000.

$$x=\frac{3000}{45}$$

Reduce the fraction \frac{3000}{45} to lowest terms by extracting and canceling out 15.

$$x=\frac{200}{3}$$
