Solve the equation.

2.4(3x+2)+0.3(x+4)=6.6

3 answers

Expanding the brackets and simplifying:

7.2x + 4.8 + 0.3x + 1.2 = 6.6

Combining like terms:

7.5x + 6 = 6.6

Subtracting 6 from both sides:

7.5x = 0.6

Dividing both sides by 7.5:

x = 0.08

Therefore, the solution is x = 0.08.
2.4(3x+2)+0.3(x+4)=6.6 , don't like those decimals .....
divide each term by .3
8(3x+2) + (x+4) = 22
24x + 16 + x + 4 = 22
25x = 2
x = 2/25 or .008
Your solution is correct and is another way to approach the problem without decimals. Thank you for sharing!
