Solve 0.4*x-800=0.048*x

$$0.4 \times x - 800 = 0.048 \times x$$

Solve for x

$$x = \frac{25000}{11} = 2272\frac{8}{11} \approx 2272.727272727$$

Steps for Solving Linear Equation

Subtract 0.048x from both sides.

$$0.4x-800-0.048x=0$$

Combine 0.4x and -0.048x to get 0.352x.

$$0.352x-800=0$$

Add 800 to both sides. Anything plus zero gives itself.

$$0.352x=800$$

Divide both sides by 0.352.

$$x=\frac{800}{0.352}$$

Expand \frac{800}{0.352} by multiplying both numerator and the denominator by 1000.

$$x=\frac{800000}{352}$$

Reduce the fraction \frac{800000}{352} to lowest terms by extracting and canceling out 32.

$$x=\frac{25000}{11}$$
