Solve for x 0.4x+1.5=2.2-1.5x

$0.4 x + 1.5 = 2.2 - 1.5 x$

Step 1

Move all terms containing $x$ to the left side of the equation.

Add $1.5 x$ to both sides of the equation.

$0.4 x + 1.5 + 1.5 x = 2.2$

Add $0.4 x$ and $1.5 x$ .

$1.9 x + 1.5 = 2.2$

Step 2

Move all terms not containing $x$ to the right side of the equation.

Subtract $1.5$ from both sides of the equation.

$1.9 x = 2.2 - 1.5$

Subtract $1.5$ from $2.2$ .

$1.9 x = 0.7$

Step 3

Divide each term in $1.9 x = 0.7$ by $1.9$ and simplify.

Divide each term in $1.9 x = 0.7$ by $1.9$ .

$\frac{1.9 x}{1.9} = \frac{0.7}{1.9}$

Simplify the left side.

Cancel the common factor of $1.9$ .

Cancel the common factor.

$\frac{1.9 x}{1.9} = \frac{0.7}{1.9}$

Divide $x$ by $1$ .

$x = \frac{0.7}{1.9}$

Simplify the right side.

Divide $0.7$ by $1.9$ .

$x = 0.36842105$
