Solve 5x+0.25=7x-0.05?

$$5 x + 0.25 = 7 x - 0.05 ?$$

Solve for x

$$x=0.15$$

Steps for Solving Linear Equation

Subtract 7x from both sides.

$$5x+0.25-7x=-0.05$$

Combine 5x and -7x to get -2x.

$$-2x+0.25=-0.05$$

Subtract 0.25 from both sides.

$$-2x=-0.05-0.25$$

Subtract 0.25 from -0.05 to get -0.3.

$$-2x=-0.3$$

Divide both sides by -2.

$$x=\frac{-0.3}{-2}$$

Expand \frac{-0.3}{-2} by multiplying both numerator and the denominator by 10.

$$x=\frac{-3}{-20}$$

Fraction \frac{-3}{-20} can be simplified to \frac{3}{20} by removing the negative sign from both the numerator and the denominator.

$$x=\frac{3}{20}$$
