Solve 8x-7.2(1+0.5)=7x-7(1+0.5)x+700

$$8x-7.2(1+0.5)=7x-7(1+0.5)x+700$$

Solve for x

$$x = \frac{7108}{115} = 61\frac{93}{115} \approx 61.808695652$$

Steps for Solving Linear Equation

Add 1 and 0.5 to get 1.5.

$$8x-7.2\times 1.5=7x-7\left(1+0.5\right)x+700$$

Multiply 7.2 and 1.5 to get 10.8.

$$8x-10.8=7x-7\left(1+0.5\right)x+700$$

Add 1 and 0.5 to get 1.5.

$$8x-10.8=7x-7\times 1.5x+700$$

Multiply 7 and 1.5 to get 10.5.

$$8x-10.8=7x-10.5x+700$$

Combine 7x and -10.5x to get -3.5x.

$$8x-10.8=-3.5x+700$$

Add 3.5x to both sides.

$$8x-10.8+3.5x=700$$

Combine 8x and 3.5x to get 11.5x.

$$11.5x-10.8=700$$

Add 10.8 to both sides.

$$11.5x=700+10.8$$

Add 700 and 10.8 to get 710.8.

$$11.5x=710.8$$

Divide both sides by 11.5.

$$x=\frac{710.8}{11.5}$$

Expand \frac{710.8}{11.5} by multiplying both numerator and the denominator by 10.

$$x=\frac{7108}{115}$$
