Solve 20x=30(x-0.04)

$$20 x = 30 ( x - 0.04 )$$

Solve for x

$$x=0.12$$

Steps for Solving Linear Equation

Use the distributive property to multiply 30 by x-0.04.

$$20x=30x-1.2$$

Subtract 30x from both sides.

$$20x-30x=-1.2$$

Combine 20x and -30x to get -10x.

$$-10x=-1.2$$

Divide both sides by -10.

$$x=\frac{-1.2}{-10}$$

Expand \frac{-1.2}{-10} by multiplying both numerator and the denominator by 10.

$$x=\frac{-12}{-100}$$

Reduce the fraction \frac{-12}{-100} to lowest terms by extracting and canceling out -4.

$$x=\frac{3}{25}$$
