What value of \( x \) will satisfy the equation [tex] 0.2(x - 2,700) = x [/tex]?

Asked by QBoom

Answer (2)

x = -675 I hope this helps! :) Solve for x, distibutive 0.2:0.2x - 540 Subtract 0.2x to each side: -540 = x - 0.2x Combine x: -540 = 0.8x Divide 0.8 to each side: x = -540/0.8 = -675

The solution to the equation 0.2 ( x − 2 , 700 ) = x is x = − 675 . This was found by distributing 0.2 , isolating x , and solving the resulting equation. Therefore, the answer is − 675 .
