Question

Solve the following equation 0.8+0.7x/x=0.86

Answer 1

1.5=0.86 (which is false so for any value of x )

Answer 2

1.5 = 0.86

Step-by-step explanation: Cancel terms that are in both the numerator and denominator

0.8 + 0.7x/x = 0.86

0.8 + 0.7/1 = 0.86

Divide by 1

0.8 + 0.7/1 = 0.86

0.8 + 0.7 = 0.86

Add the numbers 0.8 + 0.7 = 0.86

1.5 = 0.86
