Solve 2(x+x*3)=44.8

$$2 ( x + x \cdot 3 ) = 44.8$$

Solve for x

$$x=5.6$$

Steps for Solving Linear Equation

Divide both sides by 2.

$$x+x\times 3=\frac{44.8}{2}$$

Expand \frac{44.8}{2} by multiplying both numerator and the denominator by 10.

$$x+x\times 3=\frac{448}{20}$$

Reduce the fraction \frac{448}{20} to lowest terms by extracting and canceling out 4.

$$x+x\times 3=\frac{112}{5}$$

Combine x and x\times 3 to get 4x.

$$4x=\frac{112}{5}$$

Divide both sides by 4.

$$x=\frac{\frac{112}{5}}{4}$$

Express \frac{\frac{112}{5}}{4} as a single fraction.

$$x=\frac{112}{5\times 4}$$

Multiply 5 and 4 to get 20.

$$x=\frac{112}{20}$$

Reduce the fraction \frac{112}{20} to lowest terms by extracting and canceling out 4.

$$x=\frac{28}{5}$$
