Solve 0.2x+2.4=1.6x-1.2+0.6x

$$0.2 x + 2.4 = 1.6 x - 1.2 + 0.6 x$$

Solve for x

$$x=1.8$$

Steps for Solving Linear Equation

Combine 1.6x and 0.6x to get 2.2x.

$$0.2x+2.4=2.2x-1.2$$

Subtract 2.2x from both sides.

$$0.2x+2.4-2.2x=-1.2$$

Combine 0.2x and -2.2x to get -2x.

$$-2x+2.4=-1.2$$

Subtract 2.4 from both sides.

$$-2x=-1.2-2.4$$

Subtract 2.4 from -1.2 to get -3.6.

$$-2x=-3.6$$

Divide both sides by -2.

$$x=\frac{-3.6}{-2}$$

Expand \frac{-3.6}{-2} by multiplying both numerator and the denominator by 10.

$$x=\frac{-36}{-20}$$

Reduce the fraction \frac{-36}{-20} to lowest terms by extracting and canceling out -4.

$$x=\frac{9}{5}$$
