Solve 0.3x+1.2=0.25-0.2x

$$0.3 x + 1.2 = 0.25 - 0.2 x$$

Solve for x

$$x=-1.9$$

Steps for Solving Linear Equation

Add 0.2x to both sides.

$$0.3x+1.2+0.2x=0.25$$

Combine 0.3x and 0.2x to get 0.5x.

$$0.5x+1.2=0.25$$

Subtract 1.2 from both sides.

$$0.5x=0.25-1.2$$

Subtract 1.2 from 0.25 to get -0.95.

$$0.5x=-0.95$$

Divide both sides by 0.5.

$$x=\frac{-0.95}{0.5}$$

Expand \frac{-0.95}{0.5} by multiplying both numerator and the denominator by 100.

$$x=\frac{-95}{50}$$

Reduce the fraction \frac{-95}{50} to lowest terms by extracting and canceling out 5.

$$x=-\frac{19}{10}$$
