Solve 2.1x+0.8=1.3x-1.12

$$2.1 x + 0.8 = 1.3 x - 1.12$$

Solve for x

$$x=-2.4$$

Steps for Solving Linear Equation

Subtract 1.3x from both sides.

$$2.1x+0.8-1.3x=-1.12$$

Combine 2.1x and -1.3x to get 0.8x.

$$0.8x+0.8=-1.12$$

Subtract 0.8 from both sides.

$$0.8x=-1.12-0.8$$

Subtract 0.8 from -1.12 to get -1.92.

$$0.8x=-1.92$$

Divide both sides by 0.8.

$$x=\frac{-1.92}{0.8}$$

Expand \frac{-1.92}{0.8} by multiplying both numerator and the denominator by 100.

$$x=\frac{-192}{80}$$

Reduce the fraction \frac{-192}{80} to lowest terms by extracting and canceling out 16.

$$x=-\frac{12}{5}$$
