You can put this solution on YOUR website!
.6(X-50)=18-.3(40-10X)
\n" ); document.write( ".6X-30=18-12+3X YOU FORGOT ABOUT THE DECIMAL POINT ON THE .6 & THE .3 ITEMS.
\n" ); document.write( ".6X-3X=18-12+30
\n" ); document.write( "-2.4X=36
\n" ); document.write( "X=36/-2.4
\n" ); document.write( "X=-15 ANSWER.
\n" ); document.write( "PROOF:
\n" ); document.write( ".6(-15-50)=18-.3(40-10*-15)
\n" ); document.write( ".6*-65=18-.3(40+150)
\n" ); document.write( "-39=18-.3*190
\n" ); document.write( "-39=18-57
\n" ); document.write( "-39=-39
\n" ); document.write( " \n" ); document.write( "
