Solve 3+0.8x=2.4+0.9x

$$3 + 0.8 x = 2.4 + 0.9 x$$

Solve for x

$$x=6$$

Steps for Solving Linear Equation

Subtract 0.9x from both sides.

$$3+0.8x-0.9x=2.4$$

Combine 0.8x and -0.9x to get -0.1x.

$$3-0.1x=2.4$$

Subtract 3 from both sides.

$$-0.1x=2.4-3$$

Subtract 3 from 2.4 to get -0.6.

$$-0.1x=-0.6$$

Divide both sides by -0.1.

$$x=\frac{-0.6}{-0.1}$$

Expand \frac{-0.6}{-0.1} by multiplying both numerator and the denominator by 10.

$$x=\frac{-6}{-1}$$

Fraction \frac{-6}{-1} can be simplified to 6 by removing the negative sign from both the numerator and the denominator.

$$x=6$$
