Solve 6(-0.1x+42.2)=9*18

$$6 ( - 0.1 x + 42.2 ) = 9 \times 18$$

Solve for x

$$x=152$$

Steps for Solving Linear Equation

Use the distributive property to multiply 6 by -0.1x+42.2.

$$-0.6x+253.2=9\times 18$$

Multiply 9 and 18 to get 162.

$$-0.6x+253.2=162$$

Subtract 253.2 from both sides.

$$-0.6x=162-253.2$$

Subtract 253.2 from 162 to get -91.2.

$$-0.6x=-91.2$$

Divide both sides by -0.6.

$$x=\frac{-91.2}{-0.6}$$

Expand \frac{-91.2}{-0.6} by multiplying both numerator and the denominator by 10.

$$x=\frac{-912}{-6}$$

Divide -912 by -6 to get 152.

$$x=152$$
