Solve 1.2x+24=4.2*1.12x

$$1.2 x + 24 = 4.2 \times 1.12 x$$

Solve for x

$$x = \frac{500}{73} = 6\frac{62}{73} \approx 6.849315068$$

Steps for Solving Linear Equation

Multiply 4.2 and 1.12 to get 4.704.

$$1.2x+24=4.704x$$

Subtract 4.704x from both sides.

$$1.2x+24-4.704x=0$$

Combine 1.2x and -4.704x to get -3.504x.

$$-3.504x+24=0$$

Subtract 24 from both sides. Anything subtracted from zero gives its negation.

$$-3.504x=-24$$

Divide both sides by -3.504.

$$x=\frac{-24}{-3.504}$$

Expand \frac{-24}{-3.504} by multiplying both numerator and the denominator by 1000.

$$x=\frac{-24000}{-3504}$$

Reduce the fraction \frac{-24000}{-3504} to lowest terms by extracting and canceling out -48.

$$x=\frac{500}{73}$$
