Question

0.50x +0.15(30) = 23.5

Answer 1

Answer: x=38

Explanation:

Isolate the x
Multiply the .15x30=4.5

.50x + 4.5 = 23.5

Subtract 4.5

.50x = 19

Divide by .50

19/.50 = 38

X = 38

STEPS FOR SOLVING LINEAR EQUATION

0.50x+0.15(30)=23.5

Multiply 0.15 and 30 to get 4.5.

0.5x+4.5=23.5

Subtract 4.5 from both sides.

0.5x=23.5−4.5

Subtract 4.5 from 23.5 to get 19.

0.5x=19

Divide both sides by 0.5.

$x=\frac{19}{0.5}$

Expand  $\frac{19}{0.5}$   by multiplying both numerator and the denominator by 10.

$x=\frac{190}{5}$

Divide 190 by 5 to get 38.

x=38
