Solve 2*(3.8+X)=10.8

$$2 \times ( 3.8 + X ) = 10.8$$

Solve for X

$$X=1.6$$

Steps for Solving Linear Equation

Divide both sides by 2.

$$3.8+X=\frac{10.8}{2}$$

Expand \frac{10.8}{2} by multiplying both numerator and the denominator by 10.

$$3.8+X=\frac{108}{20}$$

Reduce the fraction \frac{108}{20} to lowest terms by extracting and canceling out 4.

$$3.8+X=\frac{27}{5}$$

Subtract 3.8 from both sides.

$$X=\frac{27}{5}-3.8$$

Convert decimal number 3.8 to fraction \frac{38}{10}. Reduce the fraction \frac{38}{10} to lowest terms by extracting and canceling out 2.

$$X=\frac{27}{5}-\frac{19}{5}$$

Since \frac{27}{5} and \frac{19}{5} have the same denominator, subtract them by subtracting their numerators.

$$X=\frac{27-19}{5}$$

Subtract 19 from 27 to get 8.

$$X=\frac{8}{5}$$
