Question 45449: Please help me solve this problem:
0.10x + 0.08(1-x) = 0.0948
This is what I tried:
0.10x + 0.08(1-x) = 0.0948
.10x + .08 - .08x = .0948
.02x = 0.0148
x = 0.74

You can put this solution on YOUR website!
Your solution is correct. Substitute for x = 0.74 into your original equation, 0.10x + 0.08(1-x) = 0.0948, and you will get lhs = rhs.
