0.6x-1.7=1.4x+5.7
Use the distributive property to multiply 0.5 by 1.2x-3.4.
0.6x-1.7-1.4x=5.7
Subtract 1.4x from both sides.
-0.8x-1.7=5.7
Combine 0.6x and -1.4x to get -0.8x.
-0.8x=5.7+1.7
Add 1.7 to both sides.
-0.8x=7.4
Add 5.7 and 1.7 to get 7.4.
x=\frac{7.4}{-0.8}
Divide both sides by -0.8.
x=\frac{74}{-8}
Expand \frac{7.4}{-0.8} by multiplying both numerator and the denominator by 10.
x=-\frac{37}{4}
Reduce the fraction \frac{74}{-8} to lowest terms by extracting and canceling out 2.
