To solve the first equation:
0.8x + 1.4 = 0.4x - 2.6
Subtract 0.4x from both sides:
0.4x + 1.4 = -2.6
Subtract 1.4 from both sides:
0.4x = -4
Divide by 0.4:
x = -10
To solve the second equation:
0.18x - 3.54 = 0.19x - 2.89
Subtract 0.18x from both sides:
-3.54 = 0.01x - 2.89
Add 2.89 to both sides:
-0.65 = 0.01x
Divide by 0.01:
x = -65
To solve the third equation:
2 2/3x + 3 2/15 = 3 1/5x + 2 1/3
Convert mixed numbers to improper fractions:
8/3x + 47/15 = 16/5x + 7/3
Subtract 8/3x from both sides:
47/15 = 16/5x - 8/3
Find a common denominator and simplify:
94/30 = 96/30x - 40/30
54/30 = 96/30x
Divide by 96/30:
x = 54/30 = 9/5
To solve the first equation:
