Solve for x 0.02(10)=(0.140)x

$0.02 (10) = (0.14) x$

Step 1

Rewrite the equation as $0.14 x = 0.02 (10)$ .

$0.14 x = 0.02 (10)$

Step 2

Multiply $0.02$ by $10$ .

$0.14 x = 0.2$

Step 3

Divide each term in $0.14 x = 0.2$ by $0.14$ and simplify.

Divide each term in $0.14 x = 0.2$ by $0.14$ .

$\frac{0.14 x}{0.14} = \frac{0.2}{0.14}$

Simplify the left side.

Cancel the common factor of $0.14$ .

Cancel the common factor.

$\frac{0.14 x}{0.14} = \frac{0.2}{0.14}$

Divide $x$ by $1$ .

$x = \frac{0.2}{0.14}$

Simplify the right side.

Divide $0.2$ by $0.14$ .

$x = 1.\overline{428571}$
