Question 407414
{{{9x+x/5=55.2}}} Start with the given equation.



{{{90x+10x/5=552}}} Multiply EVERY term by 10 to convert 55.2 into a whole number (ie move the decimal one spot to the right)



{{{90x+2x=552}}} Reduce



{{{92x=552}}} Combine like terms on the left side.



{{{x=(552)/(92)}}} Divide both sides by {{{92}}} to isolate {{{x}}}.



{{{x=6}}} Reduce.

Answer:


So the answer is {{{x=6}}}
