Answer
x = 6.204545455
Work Step by Step
Simplifying
0.089x + -0.32 + 0.001(5 + -1x) = 0.231
0.089x + -0.32 + (5 * 0.001 + -1x * 0.001) = 0.231
0.089x + -0.32 + (0.005 + -0.001x) = 0.231
Reorder the terms:
-0.32 + 0.005 + 0.089x + -0.001x = 0.231
Combine like terms: -0.32 + 0.005 = -0.315
-0.315 + 0.089x + -0.001x = 0.231
Combine like terms: 0.089x + -0.001x = 0.088x
-0.315 + 0.088x = 0.231
Solving
-0.315 + 0.088x = 0.231
Solving for variable 'x'.
Move all terms containing x to the left, all other terms to the right.
Add '0.315' to each side of the equation.
-0.315 + 0.315 + 0.088x = 0.231 + 0.315
Combine like terms: -0.315 + 0.315 = 0.000
0.000 + 0.088x = 0.231 + 0.315
0.088x = 0.231 + 0.315
Combine like terms: 0.231 + 0.315 = 0.546
0.088x = 0.546
Divide each side by '0.088'.
x = 6.204545455
Simplifying
x = 6.204545455
