1.6x-3=-2(4.2x-6) solve for x
\[1.6x-3=-2(4.2x-6)\]\[1.6x-3=-8.4x-12\]\[6.8x=-9\]\[x=45/34=1.3235\]
thank you!!!!
No problem :)
thats worng!!!!!!!!!
It'll be -8.4x + 12
it is then what is the right answer
it should be x=3/2
\(\Large \color{Black}{\Rightarrow 1.6x - 3 = -8.4x + 12 }\) \(\Large \color{Black}{\Rightarrow 1.6x = -8.4x + 15 }\) \(\Large \color{Black}{\Rightarrow 10x = 15 }\) \(\Large \color{Black}{\Rightarrow x = {15 \over 10} = 1.5 }\) Here's the correct answer.
@megan1124 Got it?
oops yeah. parthkohli's is correct. sorry
No wait!!
why is it 10x?
its ok thats what i put anyway because its multiple choice and that was the closest one to your answer :)
Oh, yeah got it haha
forget what i said.
@ParthKohli your answer is wrong tooo!!!!!!!!!!!
why is it wrong ur wrong razor
3/2 = 1.5 FAIL lol
3/2 is same as 1.5 @megan1124
ok that is what i thought
I agree with razor99 substitute the answer instead of x and check whether they are the same. Thats my opinion
see i told u guyz
it is because its multiple choice and the answers are negative
either way x= 1.323529412
yes but that is not an answer
what are the options?
Then just plug in.
a.1.5 b. is wrong because my teacher said so c. -.5 d. -.9
what's b?
1.2 but its wrong
It has to be 1.5 http://www.wolframalpha.com/input/?i=1.6x-3%3D-2%284.2x-6%29
thanks :)
