158x+11.7-78x=11.7
Use the distributive property to multiply 78 by 0.15-x.
80x+11.7=11.7
Combine 158x and -78x to get 80x.
80x=11.7-11.7
Subtract 11.7 from both sides.
80x=0
Subtract 11.7 from 11.7 to get 0.
x=0
Product of two numbers is equal to 0 if at least one of them is 0. Since 80 is not equal to 0, x must be equal to 0.
