Question

Solve10/7- x = 0.1/0.01

Answer 1

Answer:

x = - 60/7 = 8.57

Explanation:

The initial expression is:

$\frac{10}{7}-x=\frac{0.1}{0.01}$

Now, we can solve the expression of the right side of the equation:

$\frac{10}{7}-x=10$

Then, add x to both sides of the equation:

$\begin{gathered} \frac{10}{7}-x+x=10+x \\ \frac{10}{7}=10+x \end{gathered}$

Finally, subtract 10 from both sides:

$\begin{gathered} \frac{10}{7}-10=10+x-10 \\ \frac{10}{7}-10=x \\ \frac{10}{7}-\frac{10}{1}=x \\ -\frac{60}{7}=x \\ -8.57=x \end{gathered}$

Therefore, the answer is x = -8.57
