Solve for \( x \):

\[ 2(x - 3) = 1.2 - x \]

Asked by Heywa

Answer (3)

when solving an equation, you must do the same thing to both sides or else it won't be equal
when dealing with one unknown (x) try to get the unknown on one side
2(x-3)=1.2-x distribute or multiply 2 by x then -3
so (2 times x)+(2 times -3[remember negative times positive=negative]) 2x-6=1.2-x add 6 to both sides 2x=7.2-x add x to both sides 3x=7.2 divide both sides by 3 x=2.4

2(x-3) = 1.2-x 2x-6 = 1.2-x 2x+x = 1.2+6 3x = 7.2 3x/3 = 7.2/3 x = 2.4

The solution to the equation 2 ( x − 3 ) = 1.2 − x is x = 2.4 .
