Solve 1.5x-4.2x=x+4.9

$$1.5 x - 4.2 x = x + 4.9$$

Solve for x

$$x = -\frac{49}{37} = -1\frac{12}{37} \approx -1.324324324$$

Steps for Solving Linear Equation

Combine 1.5x and -4.2x to get -2.7x.

$$-2.7x=x+4.9$$

Subtract x from both sides.

$$-2.7x-x=4.9$$

Combine -2.7x and -x to get -3.7x.

$$-3.7x=4.9$$

Divide both sides by -3.7.

$$x=\frac{4.9}{-3.7}$$

Expand \frac{4.9}{-3.7} by multiplying both numerator and the denominator by 10.

$$x=\frac{49}{-37}$$

Fraction \frac{49}{-37} can be rewritten as -\frac{49}{37} by extracting the negative sign.

$$x=-\frac{49}{37}$$
