0.24x + 0.74 = 0.74
On the left side, we add 0.74 to both sides of the equation to isolate the variable x.
On the left side, we add 0.74 to both sides of the equation to isolate the variable x.
0.24x + 0.74 = 0.74 + 0.74
This simplifies to:
0.24x + 0.74 = 1.48
To eliminate the decimal point, you can multiply both sides of the equation by a power of 10. The number 100 is a convenient power of 10 to use since it moves the decimal point two places to the right. So, by multiplying both sides of the equation by 100, we can get rid of the decimals:
100 * (0.24x) = 100 * ?
This simplifies to:
24x = 100 * ?
Now, if you want to add 0.74 to both sides of the equation, you can do that to further simplify the equation:
24x + 0.74 = 100 * ? + 0.74
At this point, we have added 0.74 to both sides, but we still need to clarify what value is represented by the "?" in the equation. If you can provide the value or further details, I can help you proceed with solving the equation.
