6(x-.08)-.2(5x-4)=-3

OpenStudy (anonymous):

Distribute\[6x-.48-.1x-.8=-3\]Combine like terms\[5.9x-1.28=-3\]Add 1.28 to both sides\[5.9x=-1.72\]And then isolate x by dividing 5.9!\[x=-.29\]

OpenStudy (anonymous):

OpenStudy (anonymous):

OpenStudy (anonymous):

OpenStudy (anonymous):

=.5

OpenStudy (anonymous):

thats my answer

OpenStudy (anonymous):

Got it x=-.664

OpenStudy (anonymous):

\[6x-.48-x+.8=-3\]\[5x=-3.32\]\[x=-.664\]I don't know why this was so hard for me.
