Solve 8.9x-3.51=0.6(x+0.79)

$$8.9 x - 3.51 = 0.6 ( x + 0.79 )$$

Solve for x

$$x=0.48$$

Steps for Solving Linear Equation

Use the distributive property to multiply 0.6 by x+0.79.

$$8.9x-3.51=0.6x+0.474$$

Subtract 0.6x from both sides.

$$8.9x-3.51-0.6x=0.474$$

Combine 8.9x and -0.6x to get 8.3x.

$$8.3x-3.51=0.474$$

Add 3.51 to both sides.

$$8.3x=0.474+3.51$$

Add 0.474 and 3.51 to get 3.984.

$$8.3x=3.984$$

Divide both sides by 8.3.

$$x=\frac{3.984}{8.3}$$

Expand \frac{3.984}{8.3} by multiplying both numerator and the denominator by 1000.

$$x=\frac{3984}{8300}$$

Reduce the fraction \frac{3984}{8300} to lowest terms by extracting and canceling out 332.

$$x=\frac{12}{25}$$
