To solve for x, we can start by distributing the 0.60 and 0.80 terms on the right side of the equation:
x + 0.60(15) = 0.80(x + 15)
x + 9 = 0.80x + 12
Next, we can subtract x from both sides to isolate the x term:
9 = 0.80x + 12 - x
9 = 0.20x + 12
Now, subtract 12 from both sides:
9 - 12 = 0.20x + 12 - 12
-3 = 0.20x
Finally, divide both sides by 0.20 to find the value of x:
x = -3 / 0.20
x = -15
Therefore, the solution is x = -15.
Solve for x.
x + 0.60(15) = 0.80(x + 15)
