Solve 18x+0.9436=0.7(x+0.62)

$$18 x + 0.9436 = 0.7 ( x + 0.62 )$$

Solve for x

$$x=-\frac{637}{21625}\approx -0.029456647$$

Steps for Solving Linear Equation

Use the distributive property to multiply 0.7 by x+0.62.

$$18x+0.9436=0.7x+0.434$$

Subtract 0.7x from both sides.

$$18x+0.9436-0.7x=0.434$$

Combine 18x and -0.7x to get 17.3x.

$$17.3x+0.9436=0.434$$

Subtract 0.9436 from both sides.

$$17.3x=0.434-0.9436$$

Subtract 0.9436 from 0.434 to get -0.5096.

$$17.3x=-0.5096$$

Divide both sides by 17.3.

$$x=\frac{-0.5096}{17.3}$$

Expand \frac{-0.5096}{17.3} by multiplying both numerator and the denominator by 10000.

$$x=\frac{-5096}{173000}$$

Reduce the fraction \frac{-5096}{173000} to lowest terms by extracting and canceling out 8.

$$x=-\frac{637}{21625}$$
