Question

I did 20 + 1.50x / 59
If someone could check and quickly that'd be great

Answer 1

I'm guessing you meant `=` instead of `/`
[\(20 + 1.50x =59\)]

In which case it is right (:

Answer 2

Sweeet ty. Does that mean I can do 20 + 1.50, solve, then divide 59 by what's the answer of 20 + 1.50?

Answer 3

Because that's the second part of the question

Answer 4

You can't combine terms that do not share the same variable
\(20+1.50x=59\)
(20 does not have x)

So you would first be subtracting 20, then dividing by 1.50 [Because you want to get x by itself]

Answer 5

59 - 20 = 39/1.50?

Answer 6

Yes that is the process

I wouldn't write it like that because it would be confusing

\(20+1.50x=59\)
\(\color{red}{-20 }~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~\color{red}{-20}\)
====================
\(1.50x=39\)

Then,
\(1.50x=39\)
\(\color{red}{\overline{~1.50~}}~~~~~\color{red}{\overline{1.50}}\)
====================
\(\large x=\frac{39}{1.50}\) [This can be simplified]

Omg, thank you! Again, congrats on becoming a mod. Bye ;p

Answer 8

Ye that was right
