Solve 0.3+0.3x-65/2=0.5

$$0.3+0.3 \frac{ x-65 }{ 2 } =0.5$$

Solve for x

$$x = \frac{199}{3} = 66\frac{1}{3} \approx 66.333333333$$

Steps for Solving Linear Equation

Multiply both sides of the equation by 2.

$$0.6+0.3\left(x-65\right)=1$$

Use the distributive property to multiply 0.3 by x-65.

$$0.6+0.3x-19.5=1$$

Subtract 19.5 from 0.6 to get -18.9.

$$-18.9+0.3x=1$$

Add 18.9 to both sides.

$$0.3x=1+18.9$$

Add 1 and 18.9 to get 19.9.

$$0.3x=19.9$$

Divide both sides by 0.3.

$$x=\frac{19.9}{0.3}$$

Expand \frac{19.9}{0.3} by multiplying both numerator and the denominator by 10.

$$x=\frac{199}{3}$$
