Given:
x + 0.2 = 2/5
Determine the value of x.
Solution:
In order to determine the value of x, we simply need to convert first the fraction into decimal. This can be done by dividing the numerator with the denominator.
2/5
= 0.4
x + 0.2 = 0.4
Transpose 0.2 on the other side of the equation, hence we must take note that in transposing a number, the sign changes.
x = 0.4 - 0.2
x = 0.2
Final answer:
x = 0.2
