8.2x+4=7.6x+10

Question

solve for x

Answer 1

8.2x +4=7.6x+10 8.2x - 7.6x = 10-4 0.6x/0.6 = 6/0.6 X=10

Answer 2

Simplifying
8.2x + 4 = 7.6x + 10

Reorder the terms:
4 + 8.2x = 7.6x + 10

Reorder the terms:
4 + 8.2x = 10 + 7.6x

Solving
4 + 8.2x = 10 + 7.6x

Solving for variable 'x'.

Move all terms containing x to the left, all other terms to the right.

Add '-7.6x' to each side of the equation.
4 + 8.2x + -7.6x = 10 + 7.6x + -7.6x

Combine like terms: 8.2x + -7.6x = 0.6x
4 + 0.6x = 10 + 7.6x + -7.6x
Combine like terms: 7.6x + -7.6x = 0.0
4 + 0.6x = 10 + 0.0
4 + 0.6x = 10

Add '-4' to each side of the equation.
4 + -4 + 0.6x = 10 + -4

Combine like terms: 4 + -4 = 0
0 + 0.6x = 10 + -4
0.6x = 10 + -4

Combine like terms: 10 + -4 = 6
0.6x = 6

Divide each side by '0.6'.
x = 10

Simplifying
x = 10
