Solve the following equations and also check your result in each case: (0.5(x - 0.4))/0.35 - (0.6)(x - 2.71)/0.42 = x + 6.1

Question

Solve the following equations and also check your result in each case:

\(\frac{0.5(x-0.4)}{35}-\frac{0.6(x-2.71)}{0.42}\) = x + 6.1

Answer 1

Taking RHS

x + 6.1

On substituting x = -2.8 we get

-2.8 + 6.1 = 3.3

We got LHS=RHS
