Solve 12x+0.2=-0.3+7x

$$12 x + 0.2 = - 0.3 + 7 x$$

Solve for x

$$x=-0.1$$

Steps for Solving Linear Equation

Subtract 7x from both sides.

$$12x+0.2-7x=-0.3$$

Combine 12x and -7x to get 5x.

$$5x+0.2=-0.3$$

Subtract 0.2 from both sides.

$$5x=-0.3-0.2$$

Subtract 0.2 from -0.3 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.

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