Simplifying
3.57x + 1.61 = 4.71 + -2.63x
Reorder the terms:
1.61 + 3.57x = 4.71 + -2.63x
Solving
1.61 + 3.57x = 4.71 + -2.63x
Solving for variable 'x'.
Move all terms containing x to the left, all other terms to the right.
Add '2.63x' to each side of the equation.
1.61 + 3.57x + 2.63x = 4.71 + -2.63x + 2.63x
Combine like terms: 3.57x + 2.63x = 6.2x
1.61 + 6.2x = 4.71 + -2.63x + 2.63x
Combine like terms: -2.63x + 2.63x = 0.00
1.61 + 6.2x = 4.71 + 0.00
1.61 + 6.2x = 4.71
Add '-1.61' to each side of the equation.
1.61 + -1.61 + 6.2x = 4.71 + -1.61
Combine like terms: 1.61 + -1.61 = 0.00
0.00 + 6.2x = 4.71 + -1.61
6.2x = 4.71 + -1.61
Combine like terms: 4.71 + -1.61 = 3.1
6.2x = 3.1
Divide each side by '6.2'.
x = 0.5
Simplifying
x = 0.5
