Question 88911
Question:

Solve.     19x – 3(5x – 0.065) = 3x + 0.615     


Answer:


 19x – 3(5x – 0.065) = 3x + 0.615   


Remove the parenthisis using distributive property....



19x – 3*5x – 3 *-0.065 = 3x + 0.615    




==> 19x - 15x + 0.195 = 3x + 0.615


==> 4x + 0.195 = 3x + 0.615


Subtract 3x from both sides....


==> 4x + 0.195 - 3x = 3x + 0.615 - 3x



==> x + 0.195 = 0.615



Subtract 0.195 from both sides...


==> x + 0.195 - 0.195 = 0.615 - 0.195


==> x = 0.42




So the solution is, x = 0.42



To check the solution, give the value x = 0.42 in the given question...then you will get the 1.875 on both sides of the equal sign.



Hope you found the explanation useful.
