Solve 1.2z+2*4=0.8z+3

$$1.2 z + 2 \cdot 4 = 0.8 z + 3$$

Solve for z

$$z=-12.5$$

Steps for Solving Linear Equation

Multiply 2 and 4 to get 8.

$$1.2z+8=0.8z+3$$

Subtract 0.8z from both sides.

$$1.2z+8-0.8z=3$$

Combine 1.2z and -0.8z to get 0.4z.

$$0.4z+8=3$$

Subtract 8 from both sides.

$$0.4z=3-8$$

Subtract 8 from 3 to get -5.

$$0.4z=-5$$

Divide both sides by 0.4.

$$z=\frac{-5}{0.4}$$

Expand \frac{-5}{0.4} by multiplying both numerator and the denominator by 10.

$$z=\frac{-50}{4}$$

Reduce the fraction \frac{-50}{4} to lowest terms by extracting and canceling out 2.

$$z=-\frac{25}{2}$$
