Question 884186
Solve for x, using properties of numbers which you are learning.


{{{52x-260=0.5x-6}}}
{{{52x-0.5x-260=-6}}}
{{{51.5x-260=-6}}}
{{{51.5x=260-6}}}
{{{51.5x=254}}}
{{{x=254/51.5}}}
{{{x=4.932038834951456}}}...  but this is a repeating decimal, and should be expressible as a rational number.
{{{highlight(x=508/103)}}}  OR  {{{highlight(x=4&96/103)}}},  which is a rational and mixed number.
