Solve x-0.7x=-8

$$x-0.7x=-8$$

Solve for x

$$x = -\frac{80}{3} = -26\frac{2}{3} \approx -26.666666667$$

Steps for Solving Linear Equation

Combine x and -0.7x to get 0.3x.

$$0.3x=-8$$

Divide both sides by 0.3.

$$x=\frac{-8}{0.3}$$

Expand \frac{-8}{0.3} by multiplying both numerator and the denominator by 10.

$$x=\frac{-80}{3}$$

Fraction \frac{-80}{3} can be rewritten as -\frac{80}{3} by extracting the negative sign.

$$x=-\frac{80}{3}$$
