Question #bbd77

Answer 1

`x=2`

Explanation:

Let's start with the original problem:

`1.2=2.4-0.6x`

Our task is to isolate `x` so we'll subtract `2.4` from both sides:

`-0.6x=-1.2`

Now, we'll divide by `-0.6` on both sides to work out what `x` is:

`x=2`

Check:

We substitute the value of `x` back into the original equation to see if both sides match. If they do, then we have found our answer:

`1.2=2.4-0.6(2)`

`1.2=2.4-1.2`

`1.2=1.2`
