Need help solving "x*0.096+(1-x)*0.078=0.0888"

Question

i'd like help with solving x please, thanks

Answer 1

1.Multiply out the terms together if possible.

0.096x+0.078-0.078x=0.0888

2.Combine like terms on both sides of the equations if possible.

0.018x+0.078=0.0888

3.Isolate the x-variable.

0.018x=0.0108

4.Solve for x.

x=0.6

Always good to check work by plugging in the x value back into the equation.

Hope this helps!
