Solve 15+0.3(x-15)=0.6x

$$15+0.3(x-15)=0.6x$$

Solve for x

$$x=35$$

Steps for Solving Linear Equation

Use the distributive property to multiply 0.3 by x-15.

$$15+0.3x-4.5=0.6x$$

Subtract 4.5 from 15 to get 10.5.

$$10.5+0.3x=0.6x$$

Subtract 0.6x from both sides.

$$10.5+0.3x-0.6x=0$$

Combine 0.3x and -0.6x to get -0.3x.

$$10.5-0.3x=0$$

Subtract 10.5 from both sides. Anything subtracted from zero gives its negation.

$$-0.3x=-10.5$$

Divide both sides by -0.3.

$$x=\frac{-10.5}{-0.3}$$

Expand \frac{-10.5}{-0.3} by multiplying both numerator and the denominator by 10.

$$x=\frac{-105}{-3}$$

Divide -105 by -3 to get 35.

$$x=35$$
