Solve for X:
16x−30x+1.5=3.4+0.8+10x
To solve the equation 16x−30x+1.5=3.4+0.8+10x, we follow these steps:
- Simplify both sides by combining like terms.
On the left side: 16x−30x=−14x
The left side becomes: −14x+1.5
On the right side: 3.4+0.8=4.2
The right side becomes: 4.2+10x
- Re-arrange the equation to move all x terms to one side and constant terms to the other:
Start from −14x+1.5=4.2+10x
- Subtract 10x from both sides to get all x terms on one side:
−14x−10x+1.5=4.2
Thus, we have −24x+1.5=4.2.
- Subtract 1.5 from both sides to isolate terms with x:
−24x=4.2−1.5
−24x=2.7
- Finally, divide both sides by −24 to solve for x:
x=−242.7=−0.1125
Rounding to two decimal places, x≈−0.11.
Therefore, the solution to the equation is x=−0.11.
