Question

2(3-x)-1.4(5-2x)=2x+5.3

Answer 1

i think the answer is : x = -5.25

Answer 2

x=-5.25

Explanation:

Original equation:

`2(3-x)-1.4(5-2x)=2x+5.3`

Distribute:

`6-2x-7+2.8x=2x+5.3`

Group like terms:

`(6-7)+(2.8x-2x)=2x+5.3`

Add like terms:

`-1+0.8x=2x+5.3`

Add 1 to both sides

`0.8x=2x+6.3`

Subtract 2x from both sides

`-1.2x=6.3`

Divide both sides by -1.2

`x=-5.25`
