Question

Don't know how to solve 100+0.60x=20+0.80x

Answer 1

100 + 0.6x = 20 + 0.8x

x = 400

Answer 2

The answer is: x = 400

Here's how I got my answer:

Step 1: Subtract .60 from both sides. Leave us with
`100=20+0.80x-0.60x`

Step 2: Simplify
`20 + 0.80x - 0.60x` to
`20 + 0.2x`. Which leaves us with
`100 = 20 + 0.2x`

Step 3: Subtract 20 from both sides. Which leaves us with
`100-20=0.2x`

Step 4: Simplify
`100-20` to 80. Which leaves us with
`80 = 0.2x`

Step 5: Divide both sides by 0.2. Which leaves us with
`80/0.2 = x`

Step 6: Simplify
`80/0.2` to 400. Which leaves us with our answer, x = 400
