Solve 10=0.225*x+5.2

$$10=0.225 \times x+5.2$$

Solve for x

$$x = \frac{64}{3} = 21\frac{1}{3} \approx 21.333333333$$

Steps for Solving Linear Equation

Swap sides so that all variable terms are on the left hand side.

$$0.225x+5.2=10$$

Subtract 5.2 from both sides.

$$0.225x=10-5.2$$

Subtract 5.2 from 10 to get 4.8.

$$0.225x=4.8$$

Divide both sides by 0.225.

$$x=\frac{4.8}{0.225}$$

Expand \frac{4.8}{0.225} by multiplying both numerator and the denominator by 1000.

$$x=\frac{4800}{225}$$

Reduce the fraction \frac{4800}{225} to lowest terms by extracting and canceling out 75.

$$x=\frac{64}{3}$$
