Solve 45+4.8x=50+5.4x

$$45+4.8x = 50+5.4x$$

Solve for x

$$x = -\frac{25}{3} = -8\frac{1}{3} \approx -8.333333333$$

Steps for Solving Linear Equation

Subtract 5.4x from both sides.

$$45+4.8x-5.4x=50$$

Combine 4.8x and -5.4x to get -0.6x.

$$45-0.6x=50$$

Subtract 45 from both sides.

$$-0.6x=50-45$$

Subtract 45 from 50 to get 5.

$$-0.6x=5$$

Divide both sides by -0.6.

$$x=\frac{5}{-0.6}$$

Expand \frac{5}{-0.6} by multiplying both numerator and the denominator by 10.

$$x=\frac{50}{-6}$$

Reduce the fraction \frac{50}{-6} to lowest terms by extracting and canceling out 2.

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