Solve 7x+1.37=15x-0.23

$$7 x + 1.37 = 15 x - 0.23$$

Solve for x

$$x=0.2$$

Steps for Solving Linear Equation

Subtract 15x from both sides.

$$7x+1.37-15x=-0.23$$

Combine 7x and -15x to get -8x.

$$-8x+1.37=-0.23$$

Subtract 1.37 from both sides.

$$-8x=-0.23-1.37$$

Subtract 1.37 from -0.23 to get -1.6.

$$-8x=-1.6$$

Divide both sides by -8.

$$x=\frac{-1.6}{-8}$$

Expand \frac{-1.6}{-8} by multiplying both numerator and the denominator by 10.

$$x=\frac{-16}{-80}$$

Reduce the fraction \frac{-16}{-80} to lowest terms by extracting and canceling out -16.

$$x=\frac{1}{5}$$
