Solve 12x+2x+2=14.8/0.2

$$12 x + 2 x + 2 = \frac { 14.8 } { 0.2 }$$

Solve for x

$$x = \frac{36}{7} = 5\frac{1}{7} \approx 5.142857143$$

Steps for Solving Linear Equation

Combine 12x and 2x to get 14x.

$$14x+2=\frac{14.8}{0.2}$$

Expand \frac{14.8}{0.2} by multiplying both numerator and the denominator by 10.

$$14x+2=\frac{148}{2}$$

Divide 148 by 2 to get 74.

$$14x+2=74$$

Subtract 2 from both sides.

$$14x=74-2$$

Subtract 2 from 74 to get 72.

$$14x=72$$

Divide both sides by 14.

$$x=\frac{72}{14}$$

Reduce the fraction \frac{72}{14} to lowest terms by extracting and canceling out 2.

$$x=\frac{36}{7}$$
