You can put this solution on YOUR website!
Your answer doesn't check, so there must be a problem!
Resolve, being very careful.
+0.7x+-+%286+-+0.5x%29+=+0.48+
+0.7x+-+6+%2B+0.5x+=+0.48+ [multiply each term in the group by -1]
+1.2x+-+6+=+0.48+ [simplify]
+1.2x+=+6.48+ [adding 6 to both sides]
+x+=+5.4+
