Solve 10.5-3(0.6x+2.5)=3.2x+2.5

$$10.5 - 3 ( 0.6 x + 2.5 ) = 3.2 x + 2.5$$

Solve for x

$$x=0.1$$

Steps for Solving Linear Equation

Use the distributive property to multiply -3 by 0.6x+2.5.

$$10.5-1.8x-7.5=3.2x+2.5$$

Subtract 7.5 from 10.5 to get 3.

$$3-1.8x=3.2x+2.5$$

Subtract 3.2x from both sides.

$$3-1.8x-3.2x=2.5$$

Combine -1.8x and -3.2x to get -5x.

$$3-5x=2.5$$

Subtract 3 from both sides.

$$-5x=2.5-3$$

Subtract 3 from 2.5 to get -0.5.

$$-5x=-0.5$$

Divide both sides by -5.

$$x=\frac{-0.5}{-5}$$

Expand \frac{-0.5}{-5} by multiplying both numerator and the denominator by 10.

$$x=\frac{-5}{-50}$$

Reduce the fraction \frac{-5}{-50} to lowest terms by extracting and canceling out -5.

$$x=\frac{1}{10}$$
